- ryandrake 11y agoAgreed. Ranking by raw dollar values means that schools in very expensive areas (or that feed into very expensive areas) will have exaggerated scores and end up either really highly ranked or really low. Another interesting study would be to see whether a child's college attendance correlates with a better or worse standard of living from their parents'. Maybe look at Father's salary at age 30 and child's salary at age 30, and see if the attended college is significant. The question being: If you're born rich, you tend to stay rich, and if you're born poor, you tent to stay poor. Does college choice matter?
