What stands out about how Woodstock is run
Read from the village’s budget and official records.
Mountain Views Unified Union School District
Woodstock’s K–12 school district, shared with Barnard, Bridgewater, Killington, Plymouth, Pomfret and more. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $21,132 per pupil, $11,874 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.
Vermont districts overall: 5% local, 89% state, 6% federal.

Thank you for being a neighbor
Woodstock didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

Every year of Woodstock’s figures is a Census Bureau estimate: the village reported none of its dollars for 2022. Estimates are shown above, labeled, but never ranked against places that reported or drawn as a trend.

Can I afford it? →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.
