Spending per student

  • Instruction $12,204
  • Support services $2,330
  • Shared district costs (not itemized) $12,128

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, School-Level Finance Survey, school year 2022-23 (provisional). This is the spending the district assigned to this school, per its enrollment that year (803 students). Costs the district did not assign to any school are left out, so it is usually lower than the district's own per-student figure, and states assign costs differently: compare it with other schools in the same district, not across states. It leaves out construction, equipment and debt.
