Clinton County schools spending per pupil in the 2024-25 school year

The Peru Gazette used syracuse.com’s calculator to determine Clinton County schools’ 2024-25 spending per pupil. Syracuse.com calculated per pupil spending by dividing each district’s total budget by its total enrollment. Per pupil spending at smaller schools is generally higher. for example, Lake Placid, with a 546 pupil enrollment, budgeted $41,025 per pupil.

They ranked 668 schools. The lower the rank, the higher the spending per pupil.
