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.
Murphysboro CUSD 186 full-time faculty members number 136, with a student-teacher ratio of 20-to-1. There are 625 students enrolled at the high school.
The average salary for teachers within the district is $48,251, ranking it 548th 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.
