Note From the School
The differences in spending per pupil from school to school is dependent on student enrollment, special education programming, experience levels of staff per building and expenses related to the number of at-risk students. Carmel Clay Schools’ average expenditure per student is $167 less than the state average. While Carmel Clay Schools is the second lowest per pupil funded school district in the state, the district is fortunate to have strong community support through voter approved referendums. Carmel Clay School students, teachers and staff perform at a very high level and the academic achievements of our students make us a top performing district in the State of Indiana and across the country.What is the total amount spent per student for fiscal year 2020?
