They have held that using property taxes to support schools is a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection of the law.
State supreme courts may rule against using property taxes to fund local schools because it can create disparities in funding between wealthy and poor communities, leading to unequal educational opportunities. This goes against the principle of providing equal educational opportunities for all students as required by state constitutions. Courts may also find that heavy reliance on property taxes to fund schools does not ensure adequate and equitable funding.
Most states have three levels; some have more. The exact number of levels and their names depend on the state. The most common three levels are the trial court, the appellate court, and the supreme court. The higher-level courts hear appeals of the cases decided in the trial courts. In some states, the names are different. For example, in New York, the trial courts (depending on where you are and what kind of case you have) are called Supreme Courts, Family Courts, County Courts, District Courts, City Courts, Town Courts, or Village Courts; the intermediate appellate court is the Appellate Division, and the highest appellate court is the Court of Appeals.

District courts are part of the federal court system and handle cases within a specific geographic region, while federal courts refer to all courts established under the U.S. Constitution, including district courts, appellate courts, and the Supreme Court. District courts are the trial courts where most federal cases begin, while federal courts encompass the entire federal judiciary system, including appellate and Supreme Court levels.
The main federal courts are the Supreme Court of the United States, the 13 Federal Circuit Courts of Appeals, and the United States District Courts, which are the federal trial courts. There are other smaller specialty courts, such as the Court of International Trade located in New York City which could be said to sit on a level equal with that of the Federal District Courts. There are also numerous specialized Administrative Courts which handle a variety of matters falling within the scope of federal jurisdiction. These Administrative Courts, however, are part of the Executive Branch of the US Government, not the Judicial Branch. These are thus not so-called Article III courts, meaning they were not established under Article III of the U.S. Constitution (the Article setting forth the existence of the Supreme Court), and judges on these courts serve at the pleasure of the President rather than for life.
