It's officially back to school season across the area as students, teachers and administrators settle into a new academic year.

In Steuben County, the top median teacher salary is not found at Corning-Painted Post, Hornell or Bath, the county's largest districts by student enrollment, but in Hammondsport, where the median teacher salary is just under $77,000 according to data from the Empire Center . The nonpartisan Albany think tank annually publishes taxpayer-funded salaries across the state.

In Allegany County, median teacher pay is the highest at Alfred-Almond, edging out Wellsville and several other districts. Among local schools, Alfred-Almond and Hammondsport placed highest in U.S. News and World Report's ranking of New York state public high schools ahead of the start of the 2024-25 academic year.

Below are key financial data points for every district in Steuben, Allegany and southern Livingston counties, including total superintendent pay in 2023, median teacher salaries, each district's new 2024-25 budget, and the 2023-24 K-12 enrollment figures estimated by the New York State Education Department.
