Per Pupil Spending
Database Detail
| Name | Per Pupil Spending |
| Summary | Expenditures per student based on fall enrollment |
| Additional Background |
This database contains expenditures per student, based on total expenditure and reported fall enrollment as submitted by state education agencies in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. It excludes Regional Occupational Program (ROP), Regional Educational Service Agency (RESA), Vocational, (AVC), Regional Education Service Centers, and similar school types.
Years reflected indicate the 2nd year of a traditional academic calendar, e.g., 2008 reflects data from the 2007-2008 academic year. Per pupil expenditures reflects NCES methodology. For additional information, see Common Core of Data details.
Note: county averages reflect the unweighted average of per pupil spending in all districts, including county-operated facilities, such as County Offices of Education, which are present in California. Because county-operated facilities often educate special needs students, county office per pupil spending is much higher than in most districts. This increases county averages.

It is one of the most common styles used and taught at colleges and high schools. See here for more details, including APA formatting for bibliographies.Chicago
Format or style (also known as Turabian), created by the University of Chicago, is commonly used for footnotes in history, business, and fine arts and occasionally in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. The Chicago style has two systems of citation. The author-date system (most common in social sciences and sciences) cites sources parenthetically in the text. The notes and bibliography system (most common in humanities) cites sources in numbered footnotes or endnotes which correspond to a superscript number in the text. See here for more details, including Chicago formatting for bibliographies.MLA
Modern Language Association (MLA) format or style is most commonly used for footnotes in the language arts, cultural studies, liberal arts, and humanities. MLA uses short parenthetical citations within the text that are linked to an alphabetical list of work cited at the end of the document. MLA commonly cites using this format: author's last name, first name, title, publication, edition or chapter, and year. See here for more details, including MLA formatting for bibliographies.AMA
American Medical Association (AMA) format or style is most commonly used for footnotes in medicine, biomedical research, nursing, dentistry, and other life sciences. AMA uses numerical superscript for citing sources in-text and refers to a list at the end of the work. These references appear in sequential order of when the sources were cited, instead of alphabetical order. See here for more details, including AMA formatting for bibliographies.| Summary | Expenditures per student based on fall enrollment |
