What stands out about how Ansonia is run
Read from the city’s budget and official records.
Ansonia School District
Ansonia’s K–12 school district. The schools are run by Ansonia, so this money is part of the budget above.
Of the $22,069 per pupil, $14,354 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
Connecticut districts overall: 58% local, 35% state, 8% federal.

About $6,299 per resident a year, or $17.26 a day
Schools are part of the city’s budget, so they lead the receipt: 47% of day-to-day spending.
Thank you for being a neighbor
Ansonia runs its own schools, so school spending is part of this budget.
Ansonia didn’t report all of its 2024 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.
