70.2 percent of Mary Miller Junior teachers stay put; average earns $41,062 per year

Hs 05

More than 70.2 percent of teachers stay at Mary Miller Junior High School year to year, according to the 2017 three-year average in the latest Illinois schools report card.

The Illinois State Board of Education records data concerning faculty salary, retention and attendance because maintaining a stable faculty makes for a better environment for teachers and students, furthering student success, according to the report.

Georgetown-Ridge Farm Cud 4 full-time faculty members number 70, with a student-teacher ratio of 17-to-1. There are 219 students enrolled at the middle school.

The average salary for teachers within the district is $41,062, ranking it 766th out of 859 districts in the state for pay.

Salaries vary depending on the school and district, as well as the teacher's level of experience and education, according to the report. The U.S. Department of Education considers teacher attendance a "leading indicator" of how well students perform. When a high rate of teachers are absent more than 10 days, data shows students perform worse.
