- michaelbuddy 11y agoIn the U.S. the census appears to handle that. I'm not any kind of expert on this data, but try this PDF here: http://www2.census.gov/govs/school/13f33pub.pdf http://www2.census.gov/govs/school/13f33pub.pdf PDF Page 26 How I got there: http://www.governing.com/gov-data/education-data/state-education-spending-per-pupil-data.html http://www.governing.com/gov-data/education-data/state-educa... http://www.census.gov/govs/school/ http://www.census.gov/govs/school/

Look at the list of top spending districts, I see two districts with good outcomes (fairfax and Montgomery county) and the rest are urban districts with notoriously bad public schools (plus Hawaii which doesn't have local school districts and has outcomes so bad that pretty much everyone flees to private options, eg Barack Obama).
