There is a problem in many Republican states where public education programs are left to rot (WV, OK). However, looking at the whole country, many deep red states have well funded, high performing public school systems. Not as simple as you want it to be.

Huh that’s fascinating, I made the original post that kicked all this off and I gotta admit it is less straightforward than I had assumed it was, worth looking into it more fs

Makes you wonder what New York is doing with almost 40k per student and below average results.

The state probably just has to buy more lunches than in other places

New York spends about an average amount on school meals. About 1.5% of their per pupil spending. The primary reason is that they pay school board employees more and have more of them.

You were definitely right that public education has been left to rot in Oklahoma. Yikes.
