The per pupil numbers are spending divided by enrollment, primary and secondary. All the raw data comes from reports to Census by the districts. Alpine has K-8, and it looks like those little kids are pampered. Oradell is K-6 - the 7-12 is shared with River Edge to make River Dell (and ain't that generic suburbia?). River Dell is around $17,000.
