† Not applicable. The District of Columbia and Hawaii consist of one school district each.
¹ The federal range ratio indicates the difference between the amount per pupil of the district at the 95^th percentile and the district at the 5^th percentile divided by the amount per pupil for the district at the 5^th 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 $7,267 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 $8,190. Five percent of school districts have total revenues per pupil of $10,739 or more. The federal range ratio shows that the total revenues per pupil for district at the 95^th percentile are approximately 50 percent higher than the total revenues per pupil for district at the 5^th percentile. 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 all school districts met these criteria. Independent charter school districts matching the Common Core of Data (CCD) "Local Education Agency Universe Survey" with revenues greater than zero and expenditures greater than zero were included in the charter school analysis; 97.6 percent of charter school districts met these criteria.
