The 28 non-Abbotts include eight of the sixteen Bacon districts and twenty very poor non-Bacons.
The poorest district in New Jersey appears to be Bridgeton City in Cumberland County. Bridgeton's Local Fair Share per student is only $1,700. Bridgeton is very poor demographically as well. Bridgeton students are 93% FRL-eligible, the sixth highest proportion in NJ.
These fifty districts include large districts such as Trenton, Camden, and Newark. Combined, these fifty districts get $4 billion in K-12 state aid, or half the total. This works out to a (weighted) average of $13,965 per student.
The 22 Abbots get a (weighted) average of $14,800 per student in state aid. The 28 non-Abbotts get a (weighted) average of only $9,900 per student in state aid.
According to figures in the User Friendly Budgets, the average district among the fifty poorest spends $15,300 per student. The Abbotts spend $17,255 per student. The non-Abbotts spend $13,750 per student. The Abbotts have higher poverty rates (82% FRL eligible vs 59% FRL-eligible for the non-Abbotts), so this result is not surprising or something I object to, although the size of the gap is questionable.
