The funding mix is 51.7% local, 40.7% state, and 7.6% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Bloomfield Township School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high.
