Per Pupil School Spending
The table below shows the total overall expenditures per pupil in all Iowa school districts for Fiscal Year 2022, the most recent data available.
The Iowa Department of Education states:
Per pupil expenditure amounts, while informative, provide an incomplete framework in which to understand statewide, district, or school expenditure levels. A wide range of per pupil expenditure values exist as the result of a multitude of district and school differences statewide. A broader look at statewide differences may be found in the document titled “Per Pupil Expenditure Amounts in Context.”
If you have questions about your local school district spending, contact your school board using the one-click button on itrlocal.org.
