And I think that 75k-200k is a REALLY wide range for middle class!

It definitely depends on where you teach. We max out without a masters at just over $50k and that's after 15 years. I'm not sure what the masters max is... I haven't gotten mine yet. That said I teach at a school with 75% free and reduced. We aren't a title 1 school but we have a couple in our district.
My husband teaches at an alternative school and makes about half of what I do.
I'd agree that middle class starts around $75k and that the 200-250k is the tippy top. We are barely middle class! Lol
