What stands out about Norwich School District

  • Enrolment grew 6.6% here, from 318 students in FY2019 to 339 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 (351 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
  • Its per-pupil spending of $46,254 is among the highest in the nation.
