Funding

How New Jersey funds schools

The multi-year S2 law finished rebalancing aid toward under-funded districts in 2024–25.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Phillip's Academy Charter School are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.
