What stands out about Auburn School District

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +19.9% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing New Hampshire's statewide +39.3% by 19.4 points, a growth rate faster than 13% of the 79 New Hampshire districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 5.8% here, from 618 students in FY2019 to 654 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
