Let’s be real here, even if they had a high graduation rate and high test scores, you would complain just as loudly.
Your thinking is faulty. The schools with high graduation rates and high test scores don't spend 42k per student. The school districts with high $/pupil amounts often have unqualified and corrupt people running the show and they quite often hire their unqualified friends and family. The money doesn't go toward the kids in these cases.
And I will say that districts with high grad/high scores spend a pretty penny also, but it doesn't get wasted near as much.

I agree with everything you wrote here. I don't think my post was suggesting otherwise.
My post really was directed at the cry babies bringing Murphy, democrats, and a 20 yr old secretary with a $700 stroller into this conversation.
The bigger question is why the district saw a sharp decline in enrollment, from 2,250 to 1,917 year to year.
Maybe more gays and elderly moved in. If that trend continues, they can buy a couple extra ambulances and close down the schools! Property taxes will drop like a rock and it'll be "party time with style" at the senior center!
