Per-student funding reflects how much money a school has to educate each child — though different sources may calculate it differently. Our figure divides total local, state and federal general fund revenue by enrollment. The general fund is a school’s operating fund, and where leaders have the most spending discretion. Below the chart, you'll find a breakdown of the federal, state and local funding sources.
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 .
663rd among 1,019 districts statewide
25th among 42 districts in its region
456th among 463 districts in its peer group
Total Revenue: $1.4 million
State funding includes per-pupil funding based on attendance and student characteristics that the state provides through the Foundation School Program, plus additional state aid for specific programs. Local funding consists mostly of property tax revenue collected locally and kept by the district after paying recapture obligations to the state (if the school was required to do so). Federal sources include school health and related categories. Most federal funding for schools is restricted for specific programs, such as the school lunch program, and are not included in this dashboard.
