How Iowa funds schools

The school foundation formula

Iowa funds schools through its school foundation formula, combining a statewide State Cost Per Pupil with annually set Supplemental State Aid, split between state aid and local property taxes. For 2026–27 the state set a 2% supplemental rate, raising the state cost per pupil to about $8,148.

Statewide, Iowa public schools draw about 53.3% of revenue from the state, 39.0% local and 7.7% federal (NEA, Rankings & Estimates 2026). Current figures are published by the Iowa Department of Education.
