There is no more a debacle of public education than the Chicago Public School system...... unless you count the Minneapolis Public School System. It's a waste of money and doesn't educate students. If there were ever an argumentation for the use of vouchers and private education, this is it. Look at these abominable statistics:
Spending per student, 2013-2014: Almost $22,000 vs. the statewide average of $10,674 in 2010-2011 (that’s the most recent data available for Minnesota, but spending per pupil has been flat for four years), source.
Student to teacher ratio: 11.9-to-1 (source) vs. the statewide and national averages of about 16-to-1 (source).
High School Graduation Rate in 2013: Under 54% vs. 79% statewide average (source).
High School Graduation Rates in 2013 by ethnic group: American Indian (37%), black (43.6%), Latino (41.3%), Asian (68%), white (72.1%), source.
