| 1 The federal range ratio indicates the difference between the amount per pupil of the district at the 95th percentile and the district at the 5th percentile divided by the amount per pupil for the district at the 5th percentile. | ||||||
| 2 All associated schools are charter schools. | ||||||
| NOTE: How to read this table: Using Alabama as an example, this table shows that 5 percent of school districts have total revenues per pupil of $6,756 or less. If all school districts were listed by size of total revenues per pupil, the district at the midpoint (median) would have total revenues per pupil of $7,649. Five percent of school districts have total revenues per pupil of $9,902 or more. The federal range ratio shows that the magnitude of the difference between total revenues per pupil at the 5th percentile of districts and the 95th percentile is 0.5, or approximately 50 percent. 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" and with student membership greater than zero were used in creating the national and state figures; 92.1 percent of the school districts met this criterion. Independent charter school districts with revenues greater than zero and expenditures greater than zero were included in the charter school analysis; 96.8 percent of charter school districts met this criterion. | ||||||
