Indianapolis — The National Education Association reported that Indiana ranked 38th in the nation for average teacher pay in the 2024–25 school year, with an average salary of $61,661. The NEA described the figure as a milestone for Hoosier educators, but the ranking shows the state remains below many others despite recent legislative efforts to raise pay. The Indiana State Teachers Association said the shortfall reflects inflationary pressure, compression of mid-career salaries and limited collective bargaining rights, which it says have constrained pay growth. Lawmakers raised some starting salaries last year, and local districts are entering or negotiating contracts this season amid concerns about recruitment, retention and staffing pressures.
