[quote=Anonymous]LOL there is nothing similar between Cambridge, MA and Arlington, VA. Cambridge Public Schools serves about 6,500 students from K to 12. Arlington serves almost 30,000 students. Cambridge has one high school, Cambridge Rindge and Latin, which has about 1,800 students. Cambridge has (other than specialized vocational districts that contain one school) the highest per-pupil spending in MA. You may want to look at other districts., http://profiles.doe.mass.edu/statereport/ppx.aspx Note that neighboring Somerville has a PPS that is much more similar to APS. And Somerville still has some of the highest spending in MA. Medford, which is also in that general area has a spending of 18,000 per student. In terms of many things, including K-12 education, Cambridge is an oddity. Look--the city is basically a small area carved out around Harvard and MIT. There is no comparison to it in the USA, really, not even other college towns.[/quote]
