These NJ towns spend the least amount of their property tax bills on schools

The annual Taxpayers' Guide to Education Spending issued by the state Department of Education shows local taxes accounted for 49.9% of schools' revenue in 2020-21. A year earlier, that share was higher, at 52.1%.

That exact figure varies significantly by municipality as a result of state aid, which is distributed in a way that provides the most help to places that are least able to afford to support their schools through local taxes.

Local property taxes account for less than $1 of every $10 in revenue in more than a dozen districts. In other districts, however, local taxpayers are contributing more than $4 out of $5 in revenue.
