Study Finds Inequality in Florida’s School Districts, Despite Overall Fairness Ranking

Although the United States is known for its strong education system, not all students have equal access to quality education. Shockingly, even within Florida – which ranks fifth in overall school district equality – disparities exist.

In a recent study by WalletHub, a personal finance website, 67 districts in Florida were analyzed to determine how equitably funding was distributed. The study used two metrics – average household income and expenditures for public schools per student – to evaluate each district’s fairness.
