What stands out about how Alexandria is run
Read from the town’s budget and official records.
Newfound Area School District
Alexandria’s K–12 school district, shared with Bridgewater, Bristol, Danbury, Groton, Hebron and more. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $21,003 per pupil, $11,734 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.
New Hampshire districts overall: 64% local, 27% state, 8% federal.

Day-to-day services only. The biggest line: roads & transportation, at 48%.
Thank you for being a neighbor
Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Alexandria collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.
