Why is spending so high and scores so low? Why are DC schools infested with rats, leaky roofs and broken windows? Do some research and write a 3 page paper. Its due Monday. The District had one of the most expensive school systems in the country in 2006, paying more than $13,000 per student, Census Bureau figures show. On average, school districts nationwide spent $9,138 per student in fiscal 2006, which is about $437 more than in 2005, according to a report made public yesterday. The $13,446-per-pupil spending in 2006 ranked the District as the third highest in the country, exceeded only by New York, at $14,884, and New Jersey, at $14,630, the report said. Per-pupil spending was the lowest in Utah, at $5,437; Idaho, at $6,440; and Arizona, at $6,472. D.C. public school scores on math and reading were the lowest in the country last year, according to results of the National Assessment of Educational Progress tests released in September.
