But note that 2020/2021 school years where heavily disrupted by covid. Let's take a look back in a few years to see how they're doing, I'm not sure we can make many inferences from the limited data so far.

There's not even a progress report after it being fully in place for 1.5 school years.
Nothing at all has changed.

What exactly were you expecting? I assume you aren't an educator.
Education is a process with a decade long pipeline. Simply doubling the budget doesn't turn into 2x brighter kids.

I agree that expecting 2x improvement in a year and a half is unreasonable. But I didn't say 2x improvement.
I said zero progress. Something greater than zero should be achievable in 1.5 yeras.
P.S. I didn't say "dramatically". I said "zero" improvement. Doing better than zero is as low a bar as possible. I fail to see that as unreasonable. There isn't even a plan for success.
