Among the lowest-scoring schools, many students are performing poorly despite exorbitant spending, with budgets often matching that of expensive private education, raising serious concerns.
The citywide proficiency rate in reading for NYC students in grades 3-8 dropped from 51.7% to 49.1%, highlighting the struggle despite recent curriculum changes implemented by the Chancellor.
With some schools spending over $60,000 per student, the question arises: how can so much funding lead to such poor educational outcomes, and why aren’t administrators troubleshooting?
Total spending, including additional services from the DOE, is expected to reach $39,304 per pupil by 2025, which raises questions about fiscal responsibility and educational efficacy.
