2021 State of our Schools Report: America's PK-12 Public School Facilities

The 2021 State of Our Schools Report from the 21st Century School Fund, the International WELL Building Institute and the National Council on School Facilities, compiles and analyzes the best available school district data regarding U.S. PK–12 public school facilities funding and draws attention to the disparity across the U.S. in funding efforts. The report estimates that the U.S. is underinvesting in school buildings and grounds by $85 billion each year and growing.

These findings bring to light the funding levels required for all children, in every district, to attend healthy and safe schools that provide the best learning environments and most resilient facilities.
