It seems CA spends about $750 less per student than the nation average even though it leads in teacher salaries.

It spends a lot less money than my own state, around $1800-$2000 less. I live in a state that if you live in a metropolitan area and you can possible afford private or parochial education, you do NOT send your child to public school. The schools are better out in the country where I live but not much, the students still lag behind in national testing scores although they are more likely to come home alive. So take it from our experience, higher spending per student doesn't necessarily result in better schools. In Baltimore the best looking building in the school system is the school administration building, the schools themselves resemble prisons even at the Kindergarten level. I guess they are getting the kids ready for their eventual home. Higher spending doesn't necessarily end up with better results. It sure didn't work that way here.
