Inflation-adjusted funding per student rose from $14,969 to $20,322 over the past two decades.

K-12 funding rose $1,610 per student in real terms between 2020 and 2023 alone.

"Schools in the United States spend an average of $20,387 per pupil, which is the 3rd highest amount per pupil (after adjusting to local currency values) among the 40 other developed nations in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)."
