Overall, school district funding is about as progressive today, on average, as it was in 1995. In most states, progressivity has changed only slightly. More states experienced an increase in progressivity than a decrease.
We measured the progressivity of school funding as a ratio. A ratio of 1.0 means funding is equal for poor and nonpoor students; a number above 1.0 means funding is progressive; a number below 1.0 means funding is regressive. An estimate of 1.1, for example, would imply that on average poor students attend districts that receive 10 percent more in per-student funding than the districts nonpoor students attend.
