Funding

How Pennsylvania funds schools

Pennsylvania funds districts through Basic Education Funding layered on heavy local property-tax reliance, distributed by a student-weighted fair funding formula (2016) that accounts for poverty, English learners, charter enrollment and local wealth. After a 2023 Commonwealth Court ruling found the system unconstitutional, the state added an adequacy supplement — about $494 million in 2024–25 directed to the most underfunded districts — as a first step toward closing a multi-billion-dollar adequacy gap.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Arts Academy Elementary Cs are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.
