[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In states with town-based school districts, the better (richer) school districts have better facilities, more classes to offer and better everything else. And they may have a lot more funding than the town next-door.[/quote]

Nope. NJ, CT etc - poor schools have way more funding per student..it's all public info.[/quote]

Not when you take into account PTA donations.[/quote]

Totally disagree. I'm from one of those NJ schools. Huge PTA donations were not really a thing 20 yrs ago (and the school disparities were very much there).[/quote]

They’re a thing now.[/quote]

Sure. But my point is the same disparities between these schools based on SES has existed for decades, despite spending per student being much higher in the poorer schools. And until recently, the $ gap.was not made up by huge PTA funding. So the quality of the school is not all about incoming $, there are a lot of other factors as various PPs have pointed out.[/quote]
