These Clark Teachers Are Among Highest Paid In NJ

CLARK, NJ — Six-figure salaries are no longer uncommon for educators in New Jersey. Including in the Clark School District where 16 teachers make more than $100,000 annually.

That is according to an annual list of teachers that make that amount and their exact salaries for 2018, a list the state Department of Education released recently. The list barely had any teachers on it more than a decade ago.

It's also a small fraction of the more than 100,000 people who teach in public and charter schools in this state. But the highest earners also come from all different schools — not just the so-called "wealthy" districts that routinely rank highly on national and state lists for best schools.

In 2017-2018, the median salary for teachers totaled $67,812, according to a Patch analysis of salary data for public school districts and charter schools. The increase was about 2.5 percent higher than the previous year (see list below).
