Sort our searchable database showing the 2012-13 median salaries for public school teachers in New York State. The database also lists the salaries for rookie teachers who earn less (5th percentile), as well as veteran teachers near the top of their income group (95th percentile).
The information was compiled by the Empire Center for Public Policy and based on state data. We last posted a blog based on this information on Jan. 27. That blog included an at-a-glance chart of median salaries for school districts in Erie and Niagara counties over the last seven years, as well as Erie and Niagara county averages.
As noted by the Empire Center for Public Policy, the median salary for teachers in Western New York was $62,697, compared with $72,990 statewide.
