What stands out about how Rindge is run
Read from the town’s budget and official records.
Jaffrey-Rindge Cooperative School District
Rindge’s K–12 school district, shared with Jaffrey. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $22,672 per pupil, $13,062 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.

Thank you for being a neighbor
Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Rindge collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.
Rindge didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.
