The Census Bureau compiles data on education spending per pupil and elementary/secondary education revenues for each state.
Spending amounts shown reflects current spending, which does not include capital outlays, interest on debts and payments to other governments. Data was last updated in May 2013 for fiscal year 2011.
Please note that the reported totals cannot be reliably compared among states. Figures reported do not account for discrepancies in cost of living, which are typically calculated for specific metropolitan areas. In addition, accounting methods vary among state agencies. (State-by-state differences are listed in Appendix B of the Census Bureau’s report on education finances).
Select a state in the menu below to view historical education revenues and expenditures by state, or refer to the table below to comare state totals for the most recently released 2011 data.
