Supplemental Funding for Low-Income Students: 50-State Survey. Policy Report 2023
Foundation for Excellence in Education (ExcelinEd)
As of 2023, 44 states plus the District of Columbia provide schools with supplemental funding for their low-income students. Policymakers often want to understand how the "amount" of extra funding they provide for low-income students compares to other states. Because states use different methodologies to determine these amounts, previous studies have not allowed apples-to-apples comparisons. This brief examines actual funding to estimate the supplemental funding per low-income student and the equivalent funding weight, or percentage above base funding. Charts show how much supplemental funding per low-income student each state is providing, giving policymakers a general sense of how their states compare to others. Database analyses reveals that nationwide, the median weight is 1.22, and the median supplemental funding is $1,273 per low-income student.
