That twenty-seven million dollars a year to provide a mediocre education for less than 1500 kids.

That's about $18,000 per child. Yikes!

And at 25 kids per classroom, that's about $450,000 per classroom!

Whew that is outrageous. We live outside of Columbus, OH but our schools get figured against Columbus area schools. Interestingly enough, our schools are some of the best on the state tests(27 out of 27 requirements), but for the Columbus area they are one of the lowest per student and they are proud of that(that thier expense per student is low w/excellent results). Quite refreshing! All that aside though, we are homeschoolers. We've just been set on it and are impressed with what it has to offer our family beyond any local school accolades.
