Blue states spend 51.4% more money per public/government school student than red states, with no difference in academic outcomes

From Mark Perry.

"Wow, blue states spend 51.4% more money per public/government school student than red states, with no difference in academic outcomes.

Related: Mississippi (red state) is spending between $10-$13k per pupil and has gone from 49th in education to 9th in the nation in 13 years, and they did that by switching to a pre-1990s phonics reading curriculum."
