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.
Woodridge SD 68 full-time faculty members number 209, with a student-teacher ratio of 17-to-1. There are 417 students enrolled at the elementary school.
The average salary for teachers within the district is $77,974, ranking it 95th out of 1096 districts in the state for pay. About 68.9 percent of teachers at the elementary school and 68.9 percent of those in the district were absent 10 days or fewer in 2020, compared to 86.6 percent of teachers in the state.
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.
