A teacher with 20 years experience and a Master's degree will make $80k+ here in suburban STL
I can't speak for St. Louis but the teachers who are in low-performing schools here aren't 20 year teachers. They're untenured, fresh out of the door because there's no incentive for a long-term teacher in a low-performing school getting state audited every 2 years and dealing with huge staff turnover as a result. Making on average around $30k.
Stability is a huge, huge issue in those schools here. This is the first time in the 8 years I've been in my building we haven't had close to 30%+ staff turnover. Either due to audit recommedations or teachers who burn out quick.

I think starting pay is around $40k here for a BA.
Eta: average salaries range from mid 40s in exurban STL, to 50s in suburban and city STL to 60s in the wealthy districts.

Add in a retirement system where you will make more in take-home compensation than you did while working after 25 years, and the whole "underpaid" story disappears.
