$333,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $5,946 per student
Gardiner H S booked $333,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 6 full-time teachers in its Common Core of Data district staff file for 2022-23 (the school files behind the staffing figures on this page count teachers separately, so the two can differ), or $56,155 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 59 in 100 Montana districts with a figure (state median $53,321, 282 districts). It is spending, not what a teacher is paid: the salary lines and the teacher count come from different files, so the result can differ widely from the average salary the district publishes (its salary schedule gives pay); benefits are left out, and states book salaries differently, so compare districts within one state.

| Regular programs | $265,000 | 79.6% |
| Special education | $22,000 | 6.6% |
