The State Indicators Database (SID) is a dataset of roughly 125 state-by-state school funding measures for each state between 1993 and 2020 (not all variables are available in every year). It includes variables for assessing, between and within states (by district poverty level): the adequacy of spending levels; the fairness of state and local spending and revenue (whether poorer districts receive more resources); state “fiscal effort” (how much of states’ economic capacity is devoted to education); resource allocation (e.g., teacher pay, staffing ratios); and more. https://www.schoolfinancedata.org/download-data/
