1 The federal range ratio indicates the difference between the amount per pupil of the district at the 95th percentile and the district at the 5th percentile, divided by the amount for the district at the 5th percentile. | ||||||||||||
2 Other programs include expenditures for community services, adult education, and community colleges. | ||||||||||||
3 Total expenditures, current expenditures, and instruction expenditures exclude payments to other school districts and payments to private schools. | ||||||||||||
NOTE: How to read this table: Using "Regular districts, Total revenues" as an example, this table shows that 5 percent of regular districts have total revenues per pupil of $6,621 or less. If all regular districts were listed by size of total revenues per pupil, the district at the midpoint (median) would have total revenues per pupil of $9,228. Five percent of regular districts have total revenues per pupil of $18,071 or more. The federal range ratio shows that the magnitude of the difference between total revenues for the 5th percentile of districts and the 95th percentile is 1.7, or approximately 170 percent. Only school districts with student membership greater than zero and current expenditures per student between $2,500 and $35,000 are included. See appendix A for more information. | ||||||||||||
