It's not about improving test scores. It's about cutting funding for child trafficking.

Here is the bottom line:
Observations: Cost Per Student: The five highest ratio states spend more than double per student ($26,046.60) compared to the five lowest ratio states ($11,107.20), reflecting significant regional spending differences.
SAT Scores: The five lowest ratio states have a notably higher average SAT score (1,200) than the five highest ratio states (1,006), suggesting better test performance relative to spending in the low-ratio group.
Ratio: The average ratio for the highest group (25.97) is nearly three times that of the lowest group (9.26), underscoring the disparity in cost-efficiency (as measured by this metric) between these extremes.
These averages highlight the contrast between high-spending, lower-scoring states (often with high participation rates) and lower-spending, higher-scoring states (often with lower participation). Let me know if you’d like further analysis!
I actually thought I would find that the high-tax states would show a marginally higher average SAT score, but not enough more to justify having an average cost per student of double the low-tax states!
