What stands out about Hazen Union High School District #26

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved -4.0% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Vermont's statewide +12.9% by 16.9 points, a growth rate faster than 24% of the 68 Vermont districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 6.4% here, from 283 students in FY2019 to 301 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 (301 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
