This table reflects the actual dollar effort of communities to fund schools, without taking into account property wealth. This ranking is based on 2015-16 total current
<br />spending for each county (including supplemental school taxes) divided by the number of students attending public school in the county. High-wealth communities with
<br />corresponding high levels of spending tend to rank highest in this measure.
