    The United States educational system is decentralized and autonomous. States are responsible for K-12 education under the 10th Amendment. Education is compulsory through around age 16. Schools are typically structured with elementary (K-5 or K-8), middle (6-8), and high school (9-12). There are approximately 49.3 million students in the U.S., with diversity across racial groups. English language learners represent about 5.3 million students. Local property taxes provide around half of education funding, with additional funds from the state and federal government. Per-pupil spending varies widely across school districts.
