I thought that as this thread dealt with DC, you were referring to a
lack of adequate funding as a reason for the poor performance of its
students. My URL shows that DC spends more per pupil than 48 states. My
point is that funding is not the main problem.
In fact, I heard some wag state that there is a much higher correlation
with how well students do in their school districts to how close they
are to the Canadian border, than with how much is spent per student.

I was not speaking of just that school district. There are many
school districts that operate at a far lower rate per pupil.
They are not by far the highest, and they are not by far the lowest.
But being a school superintendent is a tough job.

Limited budget, my foot.
The DC school system has about the highest per student expenditure in
the US.
