Walworth County is filled with MAGA Trump supporters who were Standing With Walker to trash teachers and public education from 2011 to 2018. This county has a few larger districts with good pay with the remainder of school districts being small school districts that often pay so little that many teachers qualify for state and federal anti-poverty programs.
Average teacher salaries in this county range from $48,150 to $67,095.
The Walworth Joint #1 school district has a mid-range average teacher salary of $60,413. Since 2011, the average teacher salary increased by 30.8%, which was above the inflation rate. Superintendent pay increased by 9.2%.
This district is one of the four Walworth County school districts that earn our ranking of Likely a Good Place to Work for having a solid average teacher salary AND increasing it at or above the inflation rate since 2011.
For a teacher who eschews the far better teaching/career prospects of teaching 25 miles south in a properly funded Illinois school district, and who wants to teach in Wisconsin, accepting a teaching position in the Walworth Joint #1 school district would be a good alternative.
