According to a survey of 1,500 superintendents conducted by the American Association of School Administrators (AASA), the median school superintendent salary from 2020 to 2021 ranged from $140,172 to $180,500. While the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not provide information on superintendents specifically, they estimate that employment of elementary, middle and high school principals will grow 8% from 2020 to 2030. This is on par with the average growth rate for all occupations.
