Sadly, in the US there is almost zero correlation to education spending and outcomes. The solid public schools I attended because my parents had the ability to buy a house there, spent $6500 per pupil and were ranked in the top 10 in the State. St. Louis City public schools, controlled by the AFT radicals, spent over $14,000 per pupil and could barely graduate 25% of their kids.

Interesting. What happens if one does a country wide data analysis of this? There must be a lot of research on this.
Certainly, there is.
Florida ranks 5th best in the nation, with average per pupil spending of $11,000 and teacher pay around $60,000.
California ranks 7th best, spending $17,775 per pupil and $93,000 average teacher pay.
DC Comes in at number 8 (which I have a hard time believing), but they spend a staggering $32,000 per pupil.
