Mtn Brook is rather unique in that they have higher property taxes and increased local funding. The other links above apply to averages across the state.

Not having Charter Schools cost the state 40 points, if it had not lost those 40 points it would still have finished well out of the money, 2nd from last. One of the biggest problem in the state is the AEA and it's self serving inflexibilty.
