As the Biden administration takes office, investing in education and getting students back to school since the coronavirus pandemic wreaked havoc on classrooms throughout the country seems to be a top priority.
But even before the pandemic began, states faced a tough outlook on education, with some still reeling from the 2008 recession, perhaps making them ill-equipped to handle another sizable economic crisis. According to a recent report by the Education Law Center, a nonprofit advocating for education equity in New Jersey and throughout the U.S., states disinvested $600 billion in public education between 2008 and 2018, during what the report calls public education's "lost decade."
But some states made greater investments in their schools than others. According to a second report released this month by the nonprofit, school funding levels varied drastically among states in the 2017-2018 school year, with some states exceeding 50% of the $14,548 national average national per-pupil funding level, while other states provided 30% less than the national average.
The Making the Grade 2020 report evaluated all 50 states and the District of Columbia on the fairness of their school funding by measuring three metrics using data from the 2017-2018 school year: funding level, measuring the per-pupil revenue; funding distribution, measuring the difference in the percentage of funds to high- versus low-poverty districts; and funding effort, measuring the percentage spent on K-12 public education out of a state's gross domestic product. The report also gave each state a letter grade by metric, with only one state, Wyoming, receiving As in all three categories.
A state's funding does not necessarily reflect its educational equity. In 2018, 15 states saw high-poverty districts receive less funding than low-poverty districts, following a regressive school funding system, according to the report.
These are the five states with the greatest difference in funding being allocated to high-poverty districts versus low-poverty districts; Alaska had the most progressive funding allocation:
