Georgia School District Spending & Outcomes — 232 Districts & State Charters

Explore Georgia's 232 local education agencies — the 180 county and city school districts and the 52 State Charter Schools Commission LEAs — with original Governor's Office of Student Achievement (GOSA), Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE), Department of Revenue, Open Georgia and NCES sources. Directory identities are from NCES, joined to GaDOE by its own system and school codes; not a current operating-status certification. Four state charter LEAs that NCES classes as specialized public school districts (LEA type 9) — Mountain Education, Foothills, Coastal Plains and Discovery — are shown on GOSA's classification, with a note. Spending is GOSA's ESSA per-pupil expenditure for FY2023 to FY2025, shown with the full-time enrollment it divides by, GOSA's 2024–25 revenue and expenditure file and GaDOE's FY2025 School System Revenues and Expenditures reports, each under its own agency's labels; per-pupil and per-FTE figures use different denominators and are never mixed. GOSA's State Lottery revenue line reads $0 for 202 of its 203 LEAs, so it is not shown for them. The line-item budget is GaDOE's DE46 Final Budget Analysis for FY2025: a final budget, not actual spending. The General Fund is shown by function and object, and every other fund by function with its objects combined. School property tax is the Department of Revenue's school maintenance and operations (M&O) and bond millage for tax years 2024 and 2025: a rate on assessed value, not a bill, and no bill is estimated. State charter LEAs levy no school tax. Salaries are GOSA's own certified-personnel averages. A group of one is shown as one position, identified by its title, not the person; a group of exactly two shows its count only, because an average of two people would reveal each person's pay. The superintendent figure is the amount paid in FY2025 from Open Georgia, not a contract salary; a year with a change of superintendent shows each amount separately, never combined, and Atlanta's is withheld because Open Georgia lists 19 employees with that title. The economic measure is the share of students directly certified, not GOSA's economically disadvantaged share, which reads 100% at schools that serve free meals to every student. Attendance is the share of students absent more than 15 days, which is not Georgia's chronic-absence measure. A Georgia Milestones 0% is shown only where GOSA's own breakdown confirms it, labelled "0% (fewer than 10 students tested)". The State Schools (799) and the Department of Juvenile Justice (891) run schools but are not school districts; their schools are listed without district pages. Withheld figures do not mean zero.
