Benchmark your district’s facilities against national standards

District facilities decisions are under increasing pressure—from aging buildings and deferred maintenance to limited budgets and rising expectations for operational efficiency.

The State of K–12 Facilities translates research from government agencies, industry organizations, and peer-reviewed sources into practical benchmarks for district leaders.

• $85–$90 billion: The estimated annual funding gap between what districts spend on facilities and what industry standards require.

• $1,527 vs. $2,303: Average annual maintenance and operations spending per student compared with the recommended benchmark.

• 54% of districts: The share that need to update or replace multiple building systems.

• 12%–18%: Potential operating-cost savings associated with preventive maintenance compared with reactive maintenance.

• 5%–20%: Potential annual energy savings from well-executed operations and maintenance programs—without major capital investment.
