Chicago Public Schools (CPS) now spends over $29,000 per student, compared to $17,800 per student in 2020. According to a report by Ted Dabrowski and John Klingner from Wirepoints, only 11% of Black students and 17% of Hispanic students were reading on grade level in 2021.
I’ll take between 5 – 10 students at that rate. I guarantee a better outcome than CPS
Private schools in Rockford are around $7K per student depending on what grade.
So much for thinking continuing to throw money at this problem will result in improvements. Well, it improves teachers’ salaries and pensions, anyway.
