Abstract	When it comes to providing children with a high-quality education, money matters. Research shows that sustained and significant increases in school funding can have a lasting positive impact on student achievement and other outcomes -- especially for students from low-income backgrounds. Yet, the U.S. education system is plagued with persistent and longstanding funding inequities -- with the majority of states sending the fewest number of resources to the districts and schools that actually need the most resources. This analysis examines how revenues of districts serving the most students from low-income backgrounds, students of color, or English learners compare with those of their counterparts in each state and across the country. The analyses compare the average revenues of districts grouped into quartiles based on the student demographic characteristics. This report helps to provide decisionmakers with a clear roadmap for creating policies that can transform state funding systems into vehicles to address racial, socioeconomic, and sociocultural inequities.
