Funding

How Rhode Island funds schools

Rhode Island funds districts through its 2010 Education Funding Formula: a core instruction per-pupil amount — $13,322 for FY2026 — plus a Student Success Factor adding 40% of the core amount for each student in poverty. The state’s share of that foundation total is set by a state-share ratio combining each community’s poverty concentration and relative property-and-income wealth, so higher-poverty, lower-wealth districts receive more state aid.

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