Maryland 2024-2025 cost per pupil, current expenses: the source table

This is coverage, not a performance ranking. SFD Part 4, Table 15: current expenses per pupil belonging, prekindergarten to grade 12, as MSDE computes it.
- Reporting period
- 2024-2025
- What this does and does not show
- A reporting kit is a source table. It is not a ranking, and it is not evidence of waste or of educational quality.
- Limitation
- “Current expenses” and “pupil belonging” are MSDE’s terms; Selected Financial Data, Part 4 gives MSDE’s definitions.
- Limitation
- A district or agency with no value for this exact measure and period is listed as unavailable with an empty value. It is not zero, and no other year or measure is substituted.
- Limitation
- Do not compare this figure with a per-pupil figure from another state or another source: the definitions and the pupil counts differ.
- Limitation
- A per-pupil figure depends on what the agency counts and on the pupil count it divides by. This table is not a ranking and is not evidence of waste or of educational quality.
- Rows in this table
- 24 of 25 rows have a published value; 1 unavailable and left empty, not zero.
- How to cite
- Cite the kit by its version, and cite the agency’s own document for any figure you quote: every row carries the source URL, the SHA-256 of the file we read and where the figure sits in it.
