iPlain-English notes on how to read these figures.

Local revenue. Mostly property taxes; the largest source in many states, but it varies widely.

State revenue. State funding formulas aim to narrow gaps between richer and poorer districts.

Federal revenue. Usually a small share of the budget, mostly Title I (poverty), IDEA (special education) and pandemic relief.

Per-student spending. Varies a great deal between states and districts; compare with districts in the same state.
