At CNSnews.com, Terence P. Jeffrey elaborates on this:
"The public schools in Washington, D.C., spent $29,349 per pupil in the 2010-2011 school year, according to the latest data from National Center for Education Statistics, but in 2013 fully 83 percent of the eighth graders in these schools were not 'proficient' in reading and 81 percent were not 'proficient' in math.
