Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,994 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 66.0% local, 24.7% state, and 9.2% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $119,162 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 20/100, ranked #323 of 362 in Massachusetts against a state average of 38 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means North Andover-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
