The lowest-income school districts are concentrated in the Mississippi Delta, the Rio Grande Valley, Appalachian communities, Native American tribal lands, and urban industrial cities. Median household incomes in the poorest districts fall below $30,000 — less than half the national median. These districts face compounding disadvantages: high student poverty rates, greater shares of English-language learners, fewer experienced teachers attracted by low salaries, and aging facilities. Federal Title I funding attempts to compensate for local property-tax shortfalls, but the gap between resource-rich and resource-poor districts remains enormous despite decades of reform efforts.
