About the data
- Districts, schools, enrollment and teachers (2024-2025): the National Center for Education Statistics’ Common Core of Data, as published on its EDGE maps. Enrollment is fall membership; students per teacher divides it by full-time-equivalent classroom teachers. Community (charter) schools appear as buildings, not districts.
- Spending per pupil (fiscal 2024, July to June): the Census Bureau’s Annual Survey of School System Finances, the survey it runs for NCES. It counts current spending, the day-to-day cost of running schools (salaries, benefits, supplies, transportation), and leaves out construction and debt. Instruction is the part spent in the classroom. The local share is revenue from local taxes and other local sources.
- Property tax on a $200,000 home (tax year 2025): twice the Ohio Department of Taxation’s estimate for a $100,000 owner-occupied home, the median across the taxing districts that send children to that school district. It’s the whole bill (county, city or township, schools and other levies), so it compares places, not just school levies. See the Ohio property tax map.
- Not included yet: Ohio report-card ratings and graduation rates. The state’s report card files and the U.S. Education Department’s graduation-rate files aren’t offered as open automated downloads, so they aren’t on this map. Gray means no figure for that measure, never zero; hover over or tap it for why.
- Spending and class sizes reflect many things, including how many students need special services, transportation distances and a district’s size. A higher or lower figure isn’t a grade.
