Calhoun County was overfunded by $277,250 between 2008-2013.

The most over-funded was Monongalia, receiving an extra $1.4 million and the most underfunded was Kanawha by $5.3 million.
Pocahontas was underfunded by $1,103 per pupil and Hardy was overfunded by $436 per student, in the per pupil funding using the state's funding formula.
