What is served

  • Years: 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24, 2024-25
  • 1,969 school-year cells across 519 schools; 0 stored as suppressed (publisher withheld)

What it cannot show

  • The size-spending relationship is descriptive. Fixed costs may contribute, but student needs, programs and staffing also differ. Spending above a comparison-group median does not identify avoidable costs or closure savings.
  • Charter school figures come from the charters' own reporting.

How it was checked

Every served number runs through the four-check taxonomy described on the methodology page: (i) completeness, (ii) an exact re-read of the file by independent Python, (iii-b) a second publisher where one exists, (iv) recomputation of derived values.
