Right. The correlation between "good school results" and $$/child is not all that high. The most direct correlation comes with "good school results" and "percentage of kids living in two-parent homes".

My understanding is that the biggest correlation is to class size, which does relate (not correlate but relate) to amount you've got to spend.
If you look at some of the studies done by the Annenberg Foundation, you'll find that education gets much, much more effective, no matter what group you are teaching, as class sizes shrink.
