That's the works. Some more figures...

Remember, these are constant dollars.

You can fish for your own numbers here. I got the per-student numbers from Table 162. This is for elementary and secondary schools.

Table 156 breaks down the costs, and you could double-check this against Table 162 by dividing by enrollment and correcting for inflation.

Salary figures come from Table 76.

It's been a while since I checked these figures. Note that the ratio for per-pupil costs between today and 1960 is about 3.7 now, approaching 4. The salary ratio remains at 1.4.

For a good time, compare the $9,000 per year in current dollar per-pupil costs in public schools with the tuitions from this table.
