Detailed tables showing the budget history of the U.S. Department of Education from FY 1980 to the FY 2018 President's Budget, by major program, and showing State allocations by State and by program from FY 1980-2017.

This dataset contains school-level expenditures reported by major functional spending category starting with fiscal year 2019. It also includes school-level enrollment, demographic, and performance indicators as well as teacher salary and staffing data.

The dataset shows school-level per pupil expenditures by major functional expenditure categories and funding sources, including state and local funds (general fund and state grants) and federal funds.

School districts only report instructional expenditures by school. This report attributes other costs to each school on a per pupil basis to show a full resource picture. The three cost centers are:

1. Non-instructional per pupil spending reported at the school district level;
2. Instructional per pupil spending reported at the district level; and
3. Instructional per pupil spending reported at the school level

Economically Disadvantaged was used 2015-2021. Low Income was used prior to 2015, and a different version of Low Income has been used since 2022. Please see the DESE Researcher's Guide for more information.

Data on annual expenditure by educational institutions per student, in Canadian and American dollars, reference year 2020/2021. At the primary/secondary level, the amount spent on educational core services and ancillary services is also presented.

Out of the OECD countries, Luxembourg was the country that spent the most on educational institutions per full-time student in 2020. On average, 23,000 U.S dollars were spent on primary education, nearly 27,000 U.S dollars on secondary education, and around 53,000 U.S dollars on tertiary education. The United States followed behind, with Norway in third. Meanwhile, the lowest spending was in Mexico.

The Consumer Expenditure Estimates dataset was created by SimplyAnalytics using small area estimation techniques. The Consumer Expenditure (CE) Public Use Microdata (PUMD) samples thousands of respondents (referred to as consumer units, or "CUs") across Texas. Each CU is assigned a weight that reflects the relative proportion of all American CUs that they represent. To estimate expenditures at the Census block group and ZCTA5 levels, we use data from the American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates as a proxy for how CUs are distributed over small areas, and use this information to derive expenditure estimates for all CE spending categories. Due to limitations on the PUMD sample size, and to account for national-level weighting of all CUs, the estimates are further adjusted to account for regional fluctuations in cost of living.

Teachers' Use of Educational Technology in U.S. Public Schools, 2009 (FRSS 95), is a study that is part of the Fast Response Survey System (FRSS) program; program data is available since 1998-99 at . FRSS 95 (https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/frss/) is a sample survey that provides national estimates on the availability and use of educational technology among teachers in public elementary and secondary schools during 2009. This is one of a set of three surveys (at the district, school, and teacher levels) that collected data on a range of educational technology resources. The study was conducted using surveys via the web or by mail. Telephone follow-up for survey non-response and data clarification was also used. Questionnaires and cover letters for the teacher survey were mailed to sampled teachers at their schools. Public schools and teachers within those schools were sampled. The weighted response rate for schools providing lists of teachers for sampling was 81 percent, and the weighted response rate for sampled teachers completing questionnaires was 79 percent. Key statistics produced from FRSS 95 were information on the use of computers and internet access in the classroom; availability and use of computing devices, software, and school or district networks (including remote access) by teachers; students' use of educational technology; teachers' preparation to use educational technology for instruction; and technology-related professional development activities.

How much are states spending on kids?

Content

This dataset provides a comprehensive accounting of public spending on children from 1997 through 2016. It draws on the US Census Bureau’s Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances, as well as several federal and other non census sources, to capture state-by-state spending on education, income security, health, and other areas. The data were assembled by Julia Isaacs, Eleanor Lauderback, and Erica Greenberg of the Urban Institute, working in collaboration with Margot Jackson of Brown University for her study of public spending on children and class gaps in child development. This work has been supported (in part) by grant #83-18-23 from the Russell Sage Foundation and (in part) by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development of the National Institutes of Health under award #R03HD097421.

The National Center for Education Statistics’ (NCES) Education Demographic and Geographic Estimate (EDGE) program develops annually updated school district boundary composite files that include public elementary, secondary, and unified school district boundaries clipped to the U.S. shoreline. School districts are special-purpose governments and administrative units designed by state and local officials to provide public education for local residents. District boundaries are collected for NCES by the U.S. Census Bureau to develop demographic estimates and to support educational research and program administration. The NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) program is an annual collection of basic administrative characteristics for all public schools, school districts, and state education agencies in the United States. These characteristics are reported by state education officials and include directory information, number of students, number of teachers, grade span, and other conditions. The administrative attributes in this layer were developed from the most current CCD collection available.

The FY 2017 System-Wide Report is the report of final DOE expenses. FY 2017 began on July 1, 2016 and ended on June 30, 2017. The financial data used in the FY 2017 System-Wide Report represents the DOE’s 2017 year-end audited spending condition. In addition to using the audited school registers as of October 31, 2016 for pupil counts, pupil enrollment data has been refined to count students with disabilities with Individual Education Programs (IEPs) for specialized classroom instruction based on their program recommendations as of December 31, 2016.
