Teacher Pay: Clifton, NJ

Clifton is a small city, 80,000, about 10 miles west of the G W Bridge, and just south of Paterson. It’s about three-quarters white, 20% Hispanic. Median family income is about $60k.

Clifton has 14 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and one high school. Clifton High School has an enrollment of 3400, perhaps the largest public high school in the entire state of New Jersey.

A reader sent a link for teacher pay scales from 2005-06. Normally I wouldn’t want to put up older stuff, but it came in an easy format, and it was a gift… Salaries are below the fold –>

Notice how small the raises are through the first 8 years.

Share links, or e-mail me, and I will post more salary schedules. The ones on this site? Some I stumbled on; some readers sent in. Send more, I’ll post more (and more people will send more, and more people will read them, and more people ….)

As I find them, I will post teacher pay scales, concentrating on communities not so far from NYC.
