Education Inequality Data in PA

May 28 2009
tags:

It is no surprise to anyone who reads this that there is inequality in spending for public school students in PA.

But a new website, the Federal Education Budget Project, makes that data available for everyone to see and the results are pretty amazing.

See the inequality in funding per pupil in PA in 2006: http://febp.newamerica.net/k12/pa/4218990/comparison/custom

Here is a list of some of the results:

  • Schuylkill Haven Area School District - $7,142
  • Philadelphia City School District        - $8,958
  • Abington School District                    - $12,257
  • Pittsburgh School District                  - $14,947
  • Lower Merion School District              - $18,366


I'm surprised to see Pittsburg's is relatively so high.


Nationwide here are the lowest:

 

  • OREGON Scio School District 095                - $4,018
  • OHIO College Corner Local School District    - $4,085
  • CALIFORNIA Western Placer Unified            - $4,444

 

and the highest:

  • NEW YORK Wainscott Comn School District                         - $63,214
  • NEW YORK Kiryas Joel Village Union Free School District   -  $68,384
  • NEW YORK Fire Island Union Free School District               -  $82,833
  • LOUISIANA St. Bernard Parish School Board                     -  $106,272
  • OREGON Double O School District 028                               - $125,000

I have to wonder about the accuracy of some of these numbers, but overall the trend is pretty clear. There is a wide gap in funding between students in different districts. How can we justify that?
