6. Idaho
Average annual salary of teachers of all levels: $43,558
The schools in Idaho spend merely $6,752 on each student’s education and when placed next to the US average of $10,574, the number reveals itself to be extremely small. Since the state clearly does not spend exorbitant amounts on the pupils, it’s no surprise that teachers don’t get many financial benefits either.
