EBR Parish 40,825 Bachelor's 41,325 Master's
Jefferson Parish 40,949 Bachelor's 41,549 Master's

You can get a full list by click on google and then type in Louisiana Parish Teacher Salary.


As an educator, I can say each year my "raise" is 100 bucks and my "bonus" is based on student scores but usually between 300-500. Other than that I get nothing else other than plenty of time off. I can say when I started I spent 50 hours a week if you count what I was actually at school + lesson planning + grading to now 60+ hours because many Parishes are asking more from teachers without any compensation. Many areas are cutting teachers and replacing them with un-certified individuals and thinking they can just teach from a book.

Yes, many people can learn from a computer, yet if you don't plan on being home pushing your kids you need a teacher who will do that (or sleep with them) but a quality teacher is invaluable, however, many are leaving because they can make more doing other things.

LOL that's no one's fault but your own. Even if that's true (it's not) you still work the same number of hours as everyone else per year so stop bitching. It's not like your pay should be a revelation. You aren't an artisan during the industrial revolution.

You’ll get shite on here by the salaried engineers and construction managers, but my wife is a teacher and I feel your pain. She works at least 55 hours a week with grading and shite, so the summer off pretty much averages out. She’s got a masters and makes about 43k annually.

They post on TD all day (as do I) and they’ll tell you how lazy you are, but not many here could deal with the stress of being a teacher.

Csb I made $100,000 in bouneses in the military.

Teachers said I wouldn't go anywhere.

Almost finished with my associates and moving on to a university for my bachelor's.

Btw I have no student debt or loans and get paid to go to school.

Teachers are fairly compensated from a total compensation standpoint. Put in thirty years and they'll pay you 75% of your average salary over the previous 5 years for life.

Really pays to put that money towards a Master’s degree...

You get around a $1000 for a masters degree? That's awful. In Georgia it's between $5000 and $7000 most places.

Curious because I know nothing about LA teachers benefits and pay other than what you just provided.

Does your employer pay towards your retirement? Do you receive far more than what you pay towards your pension?

Do you not receive health insurance benefits? What is that worth?

You chose a career where you can be be replaced by anyone with a heartbeat and the mental acuity of a turnip, what did you expect?

If you do it right, 47k and almost half the year off isn’t a bad deal.

I know lots of people that work their arse off all year for 35k.

They’re too high. Babysitters wouldn’t make that much in the open market without govt subsidies.
