Student to teacher ratio averages 24 to 1 districtwide. The ratio of students  to all education professionals, including reading specialists, special education, librarians and other employees, is 13.25 to 1.

The district’s total budget, including instruction and support services, is $102,625,872, or a per-pupil cost of $18,619. The school district’s fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30, so the 2020-2021 budget is still a work in progress.
