Finance Statistics School District Peer Tool
http://nces.ed.gov/edfin/search/search_intro.asp
"The NCES Education Finance Statistics Center has updated the
Public School District Finance Peer Search with School Year 2000-2001
financial data (the latest available fiscal data from NCES.) The
Public School District Finance Peer Search permits you to compare
the finances of a school district with its peers. Peer districts
are districts which share similarities among such characteristics
as total students; student teacher ratio; percent children in poverty;
district type; and locale code. Aside from an automatic standard
peer search, users can search for school districts by distance from
a zip code, or can select school districts they wish to compare
a school district to. Advanced users can select groups of school
districts by a particular characteristic, such as percent of children
in poverty (in School Year 2000-2001)." |
