What stands out about Quaboag Regional

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +24.7% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Massachusetts's statewide +19.4% by 5.3 points, a growth rate faster than 82% of the 224 Massachusetts districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 1,303 to 1,181 students (9.4% down) across FY2019–FY2023 while the instructional salary pool per teacher went up. Districts on that path are usually holding staffing steady against a falling roll, which lifts the per-teacher figure without anyone getting a raise, so read this page's salary estimate alongside the enrolment line rather than on its own.
