What stands out about Craftsbury Town School District

  • It ranks in the bottom 10% nationally for estimated teacher pay, above only 9% of districts.
  • Estimated teacher pay here moved -4.1% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Vermont's statewide +12.9% by 17.0 points, a growth rate faster than 22% of the 68 Vermont districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 5.1% here, from 197 students in FY2019 to 207 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.
  • It is a very small district (207 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
