What stands out about how Andover is run

Read from the town’s budget and official records.

The school district

Green Mountain Unified School District

Andover’s K–12 school district, shared with Baltimore, Cavendish, Chester. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.

Of the $21,407 per pupil, $12,296 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.

Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Andover collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.

An estimate

Andover didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
