Massachusetts Teacher Pay Overview

The highest average among comparably sized Massachusetts districts belongs to Boston at $121,260. Placed 253 of 273, Holland is in the lower quarter, where a state-average comparison flatters the district rather than describing it. Because Massachusetts prices run above the national average, this salary is worth less than the same number elsewhere; New York and Washington are the states it can be compared with directly on BEA's price parity.
