How to read this comparison
Census fiscal-year 2024 school-finance unit tables, published May 7, 2026. Current, instruction and support spending per student use published PPCSTOT, PPITOTAL and PPSTOTAL dollar figures. Enrollment uses the published fall membership. Financial totals are converted from source thousands of dollars.
Census per-pupil spending excludes nonelementary-secondary programs and spending for students outside the membership denominator. It can therefore differ from simply dividing all current spending by enrollment. Zero-enrollment units retain totals, with per-student comparisons unavailable. Source enrollment and instruction-component flags are shown separately; Census does not publish flags for summary per-pupil variables. R = reported, S = alternative source, A = analyst adjustment, I = imputed, M = missing, N = not applicable. District internal points are joined by exact NCES ID; unmatched source units stay in the table. Spending is not a school-quality score.
Sources and reproducibility
