Liberals are always screaming that they need more money for schools. I'd be interested to see corresponding graduation rates, SAT scores, etc. from all of these states to see if more money = better students (it doesn't).
Anyone have any "hard facts" to back up my thesis?

Spending per pupil: $20,200.00 per year.
Percentage of 8th graders passing State tests: 67% (below 70 is failing)
