NEW HAMPSHIRE

New Hampshire published FY 19 school-by-school spending information and total expenditures for each of their schools. In the overview tab of the New Hampshire Report Card, you can view actual per-pupil expenditures for each school compared to district and state averages. In addition, by clicking on the “View Details” button at the bottom of the page, you can see the total expenditures for each school broken out by source of funds. New Hampshire also has a tool called iExplore that allows users to compare outcomes, demographics, educator data, and “average” (not actual) per-pupil costs for each school. The iExplore tool provides the ability to filter by school, district, region, and grades served. Explore New Hampshire’s spending data below, or access the report card here and iExplore here.
