The first part provides information about states' populations, which can serve as indicators of the relative demand for public education services. The second part features data on student participation in public elementary and secondary schools, which indicate change in relative demand for public school services and staff. Information on changes in the number of staff employed in education institutions and their level of compensation is presented in the third part. The fourth part offers data on general financial resources, with a focus on the percent change in per capita income. Statistics on state- and local-governmental revenue are provided in the fifth part, with a focus on revenue generated through taxation. The final part compares states according to their sources of public school revenue. The reader is urged to supplement these data with specific information about state and local activities and services related to public education. A total of 107 tables and 8 figures are included. Also included are notes on State Departments of Education, a glossary, an index of tables, and a framework for developing a school funding profile.

While much has been done to enhance public education programs and services, much work and many challenges remain. In this setting, NEA Research offers Rankings of the States, 1993 to its state and local affiliates as a tool for use throughout this period of public school reform. Rankings of the States provides state-level data on an array of topics relevant to the complex enterprise of public education. State-by-state figures on government and school financing, state demographics, and public school personnel permit a statistical assessment of the scope of public education and an identification of emerging trends in key areas. The Ranking- report enjoys a long history of use by affiliates of the NEA as well as by planners and policymakers in other organizations. It has, since the 1960s, presented facts and figures useful in determining ways in which states vary from one another or from national averages on selected statistics and in explaining how the reported data reflect social and economic characteristics and changes. Of course, no one table or set of tables can tell the entire story of a states education offerings. One must consider a state's tax system, its provision of other public services, the characteristics of its population, and more. It is therefore unwise to draw conclusions solely from the tables in this report, and the reader is urged to supplement these rank-ordered data with specific information about state and local activities and services related to public education. State department of education staff who contributed to this report deserve much credit for the current public school data it presents, as do the state education associations across the country. NEA Research September 1993 3 Technical Notes Rankings of the States, 1993 contains rank-ordered statistics for the fifty states and the District of Columbia. All state data are ranked beginning with the largest figure. When the values of two or more states are the same, they are assigned the same rank, with the appropriate number resumed with the next state in rank. In this case, they appear in rank order before rounding. The education data in Rankings are the most recent actual or estimated data available from state departments of education. Where no data are available from a state education department, NEA Research has provided an estimate, which is identified by an asterisk in Series B, C, F, and H tables. The State Department of Education Notes (page 64) contain additional information provided by state education departments to help explain data reported for their states. Rankings of the States, 1993 features revised figures for some public school data previously published in Estimates of School Statistics, 1992-93, another report of NEA Research, published in April 1993. State education agencies were invited to review their fall 1992 estimates and revise them for inclusion in this report. For this reason, data in Series B, C, F, and H may differ from those in Estimates of School Statistics. The availability of data from federal government and other sources dictates the presence or absence of certain tables in this report. Statistics for full-time employment in higher education in 1991 presented in Series C are computed by the Bureau of the Census with a formula using hours worked by part-time employees. Please note that tables featuring Average Daily Membership (ADM) do not contain values for the United States as a whole since six states do not compute or provide estimates for their statewide ADM. Consequently, averages art not computed in those casesthis fact is reflected by an "NA" notation. Tables involving ADM data are B-5, B- 6, and C-8. Because of the shortcomings of ADM as a state and nationwide count, ADM has been replaced by fall enrollment (ENR) in the computation of the expenditure per pupil featured in Series H. Moreover, the per pupil count in ENR, rather than in ADA, has become the recommended indicator for measuring public school expenditures and revenues as well as personal income per pupil in this report. However, for the readers' convenience, tables with variables in ADA have been maintained and new tables have been added for the ENR count in Series D, F, and H. Figures A through H illustrate historical trends in selected Rankings data, and a detachable centerfold is provided to help state affiliates and general users develop a school funding profile. Comparisons with neighboring states can be developed for any Rankings tables by using the last page of the detachable section. Tables D-15 and D-16 feature data reprinted by permission of Sales & Marketing Management, copyright: S&MM Survey of Buying Power, August 24, 1992. 4 Series APopulation Tables in Series A provide information about the population oc states and can serve as indicators of the relative demand for public education services or other public programs. The level and change in total state population are featured in Tables A-1 through A-4. These tables help to identify patterns of growth or decline for each state and the resulting implications for staffing and financing public education institutions. Population density has been computed for Table A-12, while the number of births by state is the focus of A- 10 and A-11. School-age population data in Tables A-5 and A-6 focus directly on the consumers of public elementary and secondary education. Combining these figures with public school enrollment tables in Series B can indicate demand for and participation in public school services. Tables A-7 through A-9 define the adult population within states. Changes in the size of adult and elderly age groups affect demand for public school programs and the degree to which funding for education faces competition from other public sector programs. These tables also can indicate the propensity of citizens within a state to support public education. Figure A displays historical trends for two key groups--the school-age and retirement-age populations. The former indicates a potential demand for education and the latter a potential demand for health care services. Since 1981 the school-age group has declined relative to the age-65-and-over group from 8.9 percent greater to only 5.6 percent greater. With both services being heavily dependent upon public financing, competition for available tax dollars may increase (Tables A-6, A-8). Figure A.
