What stands out about Burrillville

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +12.7% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Rhode Island's statewide +18.0% by 5.3 points, a growth rate faster than 45% of the 29 Rhode Island districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 2,254 to 2,045 students (9.3% down) across FY2019–FY2023 while the instructional salary pool per teacher went up. Districts on that path are usually holding staffing steady against a falling roll, which lifts the per-teacher figure without anyone getting a raise, so read this page's salary estimate alongside the enrolment line rather than on its own.
