About this data
Every number is the district’s own reporting: the yearly series and peer median come from its filings to the U.S. Census Bureau (all funds, comparable nationwide); the most recent school year comes from its filing to the state (General Fund) - two scopes, shown separately, never mixed. Dollars are divided by the district’s enrollment; the peer median is a size cohort, not a ranking. This is spending, never a rating of schools.
