WBUR created a map showing how average teacher salaries compare across Massachusetts, and Malden Public Schools' average K-12 teacher salary is higher than most of the city's neighbors in the region.

On the map, the darker the city or town, the higher the average salary. The map can be viewed for elementary teacher salaries (red), middle school salaries (green) and high school salaries (blue).

Below is a chart using numbers from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education that WBUR used in creating their interactive map, showing the average teacher salary by community in ascending order, along with the municipality's expenditure per pupil.
