The State of Funding Equity Data Tool
This tool from The Education Trust presents a comprehensive look at school funding equity between districts in states, and between schools in districts. The tool includes state-by-state information on inequities in state and local funding between districts based on percentages of students from low-income backgrounds, students of color, and English learners. For an overview of national findings, please see the Equal Is Not Good Enough brief. The tool shares newly available school-by-school spending data with the contextual information and across-school comparisons needed to make meaning of the data and better gauge whether funding is being allocated equitably across schools in a district. For an overview of national findings, please see the Access Granted brief.
