The U.S. Census Bureau has released preliminary data from the 2024 Annual Survey of School System Finances, offering an early view into public school spending for pre-K through 12th grade students. The information includes state-level summary statistics on revenues and expenditures for the 2024 fiscal year.
According to the Census Bureau, the fiscal year is not standardized across all school systems, meaning that survey data are not adjusted to match a uniform fiscal calendar. The agency also noted that these preliminary figures may change before the final data set is published.
The Census Bureau plans to release finalized results for all 50 states and the District of Columbia in 2026.
