State Education Spending Per Pupil



The Census Bureau compiles data on education spending per pupil for elementary/secondary education.

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)

The data was last updated in June 2012.
