Terrible writing alert:
"Per the state of Ohio, Akron’s schools were given just $10,028 in state and local funds per student in 2016 — more than the statewide average, but still a relatively low figure for a city of a little under 200,000."
Relative to what? You've already told us it was higher than the state average. To call it relatively lower means that there are some who receive more, but we're in the dark as to who they are.

- GFischer 8y agoWell, I don't think it's terrible, it says so there: relative to other cities of 200.000 inhabitants (probably in other states). According to Google, it's below the U.S. average, and N.Y. cities spend 20.000 or more per student (up to 60.000 in one case). https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=66 https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=66 https://247wallst.com/special-report/2015/09/28/cities-spending-the-most-and-least-per-pupil/ https://247wallst.com/special-report/2015/09/28/cities-spend...
