The sets of comparative charts #1 - 4 show
all districts on either 4-page or 6-page charts for various comparative views. Although
all districts are included,
please use great care in drawing any automatic conclusions from the information provided in
these charts. There are many things that influence where and how districts spend their
educational dollars in order to educate and serve the needs of their students. Looking at
information from similar districts (i.e., enrollment level, rural, urban, wealth of
community, etc.) is a better basis for any discussions of comparative information.
Each comparative chart is described below.
