Perhaps the national funding distribution is not where it should be? Regarding the SAT scores, a relationship might exist, but too many variables go into education to know the exact relationship between SAT scores and funding. There is an uncertainty principle.

A correlation between funding and performance would provide a clearly lit path to improvement. Sadly, there appears to be no such correlation. Not sure what you're seeing there, Jeffery.

Even the best funded schools in the US are still underfunded. That assertion is support by your research with your SAT scores. The national funding central tendency is not aligned where it should be.

Perhaps those numbers are meaningless? Those figures show us how much we fund Our schools compared with other states, but it does not tell us if those are the right funding levels to be using. We should be funding Our Education System based on what we need here in Nevada and not compare bad with worse.
