Per-student spending reflects how much money a school spends to educate each child — though different sources may calculate it differently. Our figure divides total local, state and federal general fund spending by enrollment. The general fund is a school’s operating fund, and where leaders have the most spending discretion.
We offer three comparison points: statewide ranking, regional ranking, and peer ranking (schools operating in similar environments). Schools in a peer group may not be close to each other geographically. Regions and peer groups are defined by the state.
895th among 1,019 districts statewide
38th among 50 districts in its region
132nd among 167 districts in its peer group
