What stands out about Claremont School District

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +59.9% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing New Hampshire's statewide +39.3% by 20.6 points, a growth rate faster than 87% of the 79 New Hampshire districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 1,767 to 1,649 students (6.7% 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.
