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. When spending exceeds revenue, a district is in deficit — risking depleted reserves unless a plan is in place to bring the budget back into balance.
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.
317th among 1,019 districts statewide
