First Look at 2024 School System Finances

Press Release Number: CB25-TPS.73

NOV. 13, 2025 — The U.S. Census Bureau today released a first look at data from the 2024 Annual Survey of School System Finances. The preliminary data provide initial insight into public school spending per pupil (pre-K through 12th grade) and state-level summary statistics on school system revenues and expenditures for the 2024 fiscal year.

The fiscal year is not uniform across all school systems and may vary. Survey data are not adjusted to align school systems to a uniform fiscal year.

The preliminary data are subject to change before the final release. The Census Bureau plans to release the final FY 2024 Annual Survey of School System Finances data for all 50 states and the District of Columbia in 2026.
