It's interesting data, all right.

Almost all of the states on the right side of the graph are relatively rural, and many are in the south.

After living in Tennessee for 12 years, I would speculate that there are other factors which might be even
more important than the dollars spent per pupil in effecting test scores, such as (don't laugh) family and community values.

On the left side of the graph one finds NY, NJ, DC, - highly urbanized states with most of the population in large cities.

FWIW, it appears rural vs urban and Southern US vs. NE is more closely correlated with test scores.

Almost as if the increased spending per student in the NE is necessary to compensate for other factors found elsewhere.
