There are no high schools that receive Title 1 or Focus school funding. It is a few middle schools but mostly elementary schools. If you really cared as much as you claim, you would know this.[/quote]

And yet the schools with the highest funding per student were W's.[/quote]

Factually incorrect.

Churchill and Wheaton get about the same amount when tells me schools don't get more funding because of their farms rates[/quote]

Yeah, funding at all high schools per student are in the same general ballpark, and a lot of the variation is driven by special ed costs, not other factors.  And I don't think that MCPS provides much if any extra county funding to poorer high schools?  The feds and state give more for poor kids but I think MCPS actually used to take some of the extra state funding for poorer kids and use it for other things, don't know if they still do that.

It probably varies by staff salary. [/quote]

Class size has a lot to do with it. An overcrowded school like WJ will be less per student. [/quote]

WJ doesn't have many ESOL students or as many high needs SPED.[/quote]

ELLs are not really a cost center in high school. At the ES level, MCPS does put substantially more resources into schools with large numbers of kids living in poverty and kids learning English. But by high school the per pupil spending number is driven almost entirely by the cost of educating kids with special needs. [/quote]

Look at the courses offered at the DCC.  They are very different and have tons of options there are also severely disabled at some hs. [/quote]
