These Hasbrouck Heights Teachers Are Among Highest Paid In NJ

HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, NJ —Six-figure salaries are no longer uncommon for educators in New Jersey, including in the Hasbrouck Heights School District where several 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).

The Hasbrouck Heights teachers included on the list, and their statewide rankings, are:
