Raising teacher's pay doesn't produce better graduates to any effective degree in the United States.

Hireing more teachers to reduce class size for K-6 does seem to produce better results, but at considerable costs.

Testing and posting results has turned out to be pretty cost effective - but most teachers dislike it.

Getting disruptive and very slow students out of mainstream class rooms helps, but the school administrators usually have to fight lawsuits and pressure from the "everybody's equal " lobby. Plus the ADA, Americans with Disabilities Act, and their associated legal parasites.

Applying social pressure to most lower class parents also has positive results. Difficult to do in economically mixed schools, as middle class and rich parents will push back or sue or ridicule the efforts.

Sending your own kids to private school works pretty well.

For some people, home schooling can work well - already disproportionate admissions to Ivy league, West Point, etc. are home schooled.
