- ghaff 10y agoFair enough. Funding is often one factor but there are obviously many reasons why suburban schools in good neighborhoods are "better" (have superior outcomes) than those in many city neighborhoods. And, yes, there's not much evidence that more money is a particularly effective fix in many poorly performing school districts. Mostly I was just responding to a comment that seemed to not be aware that school funding was already mostly local.
