And yet in Connecticut there are many well regarded school systems in affluent towns that spend about the same per student than the failing schools in Connecticut cities.
Cities: Waterbury ($15,859), Hartford ($18,397), Bridgeport ($15,228), Stamford (18,188), and New Haven ($17,084) spend on average $16,951 per student.
Some well-regarded suburban school districts: Simsbury ($15,969), Ridgefield ($17,315), Glastonbury ($15,481), West Hartford ($15,720), for an average of $16,121.
Clearly there is something going on beyond the dollars spent per student.
