What stands out about Thetford School District

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +59.9% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Vermont's statewide +12.9% by 47.0 points, a growth rate faster than 97% of the 68 Vermont districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 249 to 208 students (16.5% 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.
  • It is a very small district (208 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
  • Its per-pupil spending of $45,495 is among the highest in the nation.
