| † Not applicable. The District of Columbia and Hawaii consist of only one unified school district each. | ||||||||
| 1 Current expenditures include instruction, instruction-related, support services, and other elementary/secondary current expenditures, but exclude expenditures on capital outlay, other programs and payments to state and local governments, interest on long-term debt, payments to other school districts, and payments to private and charter schools. | ||||||||
| 2 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. | ||||||||
| 3 Unified school districts are school districts that provide both elementary and secondary education services and instruction. | ||||||||
| 4 All associated schools are charter schools. | ||||||||
| NOTE: How to read this table: Using Alabama as an example, this table shows that 5 percent of unified school districts have current expenditures per pupil of $6,135 or less. If all unified school districts were listed by size of current expenditures per pupil, the district at the midpoint (median) would have current expenditures per pupil of $6,974. Five percent of unified school districts have current expenditures per pupil of $8,300 or more. The federal range ratio shows that the magnitude of the difference between current expenditures per pupil at the 5th percentile of districts and the 95th percentile is 0.4, or approximately 40 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. | ||||||||
