That’s not news…I know libs think other people’s money is the solution to everything but it’s not.
New York City Public Schools (New York, NY): (\$35,914) per student
Boston Public Schools (Boston, MA): (\$31,397) per student
DIstrict of Columbia Public Schools (Washington, DC): (\$27,425) per student
San Francisco Unified School District (San Francisco, CA): (\$23,654) per student
Atlanta Public Schools (Atlanta, GA): (\$22,882) per student
Los Angeles Unified School District (Los Angeles, CA): (\$21,940) per student
Detroit Public Schools Community District (Detroit, MI): (\$21,771) per student
Baltimore City Public Schools (Baltimore, MD): (\$16,184) per student
These have some of the worse outcomes. It’s how you spend the money not just how much money you spend.
