how many schools do we have in the usa
Education in the United States There are more than 14,000 school districts in the country,[47] and more than $500 billion is spent each year on public primary and secondary education.[47] Most states require that their school districts within the state teach for 180 days a year.[48] In 2010, there were 3,823,142 teachers in public, charter, private, and Catholic elementary and secondary schools. They taught a total of 55,203,000 students, who attended one of 132,656 schools.[49]
National curriculum The United States notably does not have one; the establishment of a national curriculum was explicitly banned in 1965, in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. This act provided federal funding for primary and secondary education ('Title I funding') as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty.[2] However, most states in the United States voluntarily abide by the Common Core State Standards Initiative, which provides certain uniform standards, See Education in the United States.
