The U.S. Census Bureau has released preliminary data from the 2024 Annual Survey of School System Finances, offering an early overview of public school spending per pupil for pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The data also include state-level summary statistics on revenues and expenditures for public school systems during the 2024 fiscal year.
According to the Census Bureau, fiscal years are not standardized across all school systems, and the survey data have not been adjusted to account for these differences in fiscal calendars.
The information provided is considered preliminary and may be updated before the final release. The Census Bureau plans to publish the complete FY 2024 Annual Survey of School System Finances for all 50 states and the District of Columbia in 2026.
