The inner city schools are the best funded in much of the country. Often times the rural schools are the least funded. I do agree that inner city schools are way over funded. Around $25,000 per year per student in DC. Students go to school for K through 12 which is 13 years, but many are held back a year so $25,000 per student times 14 is just too much money. In many rural areas the funding is only 1/3 that amount.

Alright. I guess I don't know many specifics about the US. If funding is that high, what is it about the schools that is preventing kids from going to college?

lack of parenting at home. And although the schools are well funded, like most government agencies the money is not well spent. Too much goes to administrtors, and adminstraition vs schools and teachers.  I think my local super intendant makes 200k+ a year, and gets benifits and has a staff that makes 100k+ a year(San Bernardino County) and the schools are not high performing.
