What stands out about how Naugatuck is run
Read from the borough’s budget and official records.
Naugatuck School District
Naugatuck’s K–12 school district. The schools are run by Naugatuck, so this money is part of the budget above.
Of the $21,831 per pupil, $12,813 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.
School year 2023–24. Census Bureau school finance survey.
About $5,396 per resident a year, or $14.78 a day
Schools are part of the borough’s budget, so they lead the receipt: 56% of day-to-day spending.

Naugatuck runs its own schools, so school spending is part of this budget.
No comparison or trend for Naugatuck yet
The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample), and Naugatuck’s 2022 figures are a Census estimate (it reported 31% of its 2022 dollars). It reported 2024 only (2022 and 2023 are estimates), so there is no trend yet either. The next full count is 2027.
