Teacher turnover by district
Teachers who left their district from one year to the next (average across districts). 2018 compared with (no earlier year). Fair ●●○
Select a column heading to sort. Blank means the publisher did not report that area; "suppressed" means the publisher withheld a small number; "not shown" means this site withheld it (fewer than 30 survey respondents).
The county column comes from the district-to-county table, for reading county measures alongside district ones. State charter schools and other statewide units have no single county.

Source: GOEWS Teacher and Leader Workforce Reports; 2018 district retention download. The state publishes retention (the share who stayed); turnover here is 100 minus that figure. The state last published district-level rates for 2017-18. The 2021-22 and 2022-23 statewide figures come from the reports' own stated averages across districts, typed in from the report text. No figures for 2018-19 through 2020-21 on the same definition. Rated fair by the scoping report; the thin publication record is why.
