underfunded schools

Budget-deprived education centers

Schools that receive insufficient financial resources to adequately serve their students.

The term appears frequently in discussions of educational inequality, where underfunded schools—often in low-income areas—lack basic supplies, qualified teachers, updated facilities, or support services that wealthier districts take for granted: Underfunded schools struggle to retain experienced teachers.
