Its super complex and controversial. Further complicated by race and class politics. A city next to Oakland was a case study (Emeryville) where large amounts of tax money could not solve the inequities and poor performance of public education there. It was the subject of a PBS program maybe 25 years ago, that appears to have disappeared from the internet. The conclusion was dollars can't buy scholars. Beware of oversimplifying these problems into funding, or right vs. left. Or humanities vs. math.
