Data source & how to use it
This page uses the latest available district-level figures from the Missouri Department of Elementary & Secondary Education (DESE), 2024. Per-student spending is calculated as total district expenditures divided by total student count (Pre-K + K–12).
Every district’s situation is unique—staffing, facilities, special programs, and local needs vary—so please treat this as a starting point for conversations with your school board and administrators. If something looks off, ask for clarification and the most recent DESE reports for your district.
