| 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 Regular school districts are school districts that provide instruction and other education services and that do not focus primarily on special education or vocational education. Education service agencies and independent charter school districts are also excluded from this category. School districts that have both charter and noncharter schools are included in this category. |
| 3 Total expenditures do not include payments to other school districts and payments to private schools and charter schools. |
| 4 Total 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. |
| 5 Capital outlay expenditures are those for school construction, property, and equipment. |
| 6 Other programs include community services, adult education, and community colleges. |
| 7 All associated schools are charter schools. |
| NOTE: How to read this table: Using regular school districts, total expenditures as an example, this table shows that 5 percent of regular school districts have total expenditures per pupil of $7,061 or less. If all regular school districts were listed by size of total expenditures per pupil, the district at the midpoint (median) would have total expenditures per pupil of $9,799. Five percent of regular districts have total expenditures per pupil of $19,066 or more. The federal range ratio shows that the total expenditures per pupil for district at the 95th percentile are approximately 170 percent higher than the total expenditures per pupil for district at the 5th percentile. Median expenditures are reported for each data item, so details do not sum to totals. 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 this table; 92.1 percent of all school districts met these criteria. Regular 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. |
