NCES F-33 fiscal year 2022-23: current spending over fall 2022 membership, shown where it falls between $3,000 and $80,000 (outside that range the finance and membership files do not describe the same students). EDFacts 2021-22: all students proficient or above, and the four-year graduation rate for the class of 2023, as published; ED gives smaller districts as ranges. Missouri sets its own test standard, so compare these within Missouri.
