| Description: | In this report, we present our analysis of the condition of public school funding in Arizona and 48 other states.4 Using the most recently available data from the 2016-17 school year, we rank and grade each state on three core measures to answer the question: How fair is school funding in your state? The measures are: • Funding Level —the cost-adjusted, per‐pupil revenue from state and local sources • Funding Distribution —the extent to which additional funds are distributed to school districts with high levels of student poverty • Funding Effort —the level of investment in K-12 public education as a percentage of state wealth (GDP) allocated to maintain and support the state school system We present each state’s rankings and grades on these school funding measures as a tool to inform policymakers, business and community leaders, teachers, parents and students about the condition of public school funding in their state. The report is also designed to assist advocates in their efforts to improve the level and distribution of school funding for students in state public school systems. |
