† Not applicable. The District of Columbia and Hawaii consist of one school district each. 1 The federal range ratio indicates the difference between the total current expenditure per student of the district at the 95th percentile and the district at the 5th percentile, divided by the amount for the district at the 5th percentile. A federal range ratio of zero would represent complete spending equity across districts. NOTE: Current expenditures includes instruction, support services, and noninstruction services, but exclude payments to other school districts and payments to private schools. National figures do not include independent charter school districts. National and state figures include charter schools that are affiliated with regular school districts. Only regular school districts matching the Common Core of Data (CCD), "Local Education Agency Universe Survey," with student membership greater than zero, and current expenditures per student between $2,500 and $35,000 were used in creating the national and state figures; 84.5 percent of the school districts met this criterion. Charter school districts with revenues greater than zero and expenditures greater than zero were included in the charter school analysis; 100 percent of charter school districts met this criterion.
