— Not available. Data are missing for American Samoa and Guam because they did not report student membership. Missing data for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and Puerto Rico are reported in other support services data items and included in the total.
# Rounds to zero.
¹ Include instruction, instruction-related, support services, and other elementary/secondary current expenditures, but exclude expenditures on capital outlay, other programs, and interest on long-term debt.
² An expenditure function divided into seven subfunctions: student support services, instructional staff support, general administration, school administration, operations and maintenance, student transportation, and other support services.
³ Include attendance and social work, guidance, health, psychological services, speech pathology, audiology, and other student support services.
⁴ Include operations that are operated as a business and receipts from the operation are expected to fund the enterprise (e.g., school bookstores and certain after school activities).
⁵ U.S. totals include the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
⁶ The prekindergarten student membership was imputed, affecting the total student count and per pupil expenditures calculation.
⁷ Value affected by redistribution of reported expenditure values to correct for missing data items, and/or to distribute state direct support expenditures.
⁸ Both the District of Columbia and Hawaii have only one school district each; therefore, neither is comparable to other states.
NOTE: Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
