What stands out about Grantham School District

  • It ranks in the top 10% of US districts for estimated teacher pay, higher than 94% of the 10,684 reliable-salary districts nationally.
  • Enrolment grew 27.2% here, from 217 students in FY2019 to 276 in FY2022, 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 (271 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
  • Its per-pupil spending of $37,458 is among the highest in the nation.
