- simonsarris 3y agoThat's from 1996 and definitely not true today. The $$ numbers there are also hilariously low now. Compare them to: https://www.aaastateofplay.com/school-districts-ranked-by-the-money-they-spend-per-student/ https://www.aaastateofplay.com/school-districts-ranked-by-th... Especially in inner cities, many of the better performing school districts spend far less than the places serving poor communities. Camden NJ is one of the highest spenders, so are a lot of city schools in Illinois. Famously "good" schools, like Stuyvesant which spends about $17,000 per student, don't even make the list. It's far below the average for NY!
