Texas School Finance - Comparing and Analyzing

Week 3, Assignment 1
Comparing and Analyzing District Snapshots

                                                            District 1                     District 2        
% of Economic Disadvantage             93.3%                          20.7%
Total Refined ADA                              3,893.754                    4,032.937
ADA (WADA)                                       5,555.815                    4,794.076

Because District 1 has a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged their cost for educating these students is higher that District 2, which has lower percentages of special populations.  To help offset the added expense of educating these students, they receive a higher WADA than District 2.
