Michelle Obama And Local Students Harvest Crops From White House Kitchen Garden A report by the research group Education Data shows that Washington, DC, is third in the nation in spending per student in public schools — $22,847 for K-12 — while ranking 37th out of 51 states with the highest dropout rate of 31.10 percent.
The research group, which works with the support of the National Center for Education Statistics and the World Bank, said in the report that “public education spending in the United States falls short of global benchmarks and lags behind economic growth.”
The report said that the average spent per student in the United States is $12,624 — almost half what D.C. spends, even if other states have better outcomes from education funding.
Virginia, for example, spends $12,243 per student in K-12 but is ranked fourth in the nation for best performing schools, according to a WalletHub analysis, which also calculated the D.C. drop out rate.
Nebraska, which allots $12,710 per student in K-12, is ranked eighth in the nation, according to WalletHub.
The report also shows that the D.C. receives the second-most federal funding — $208.3 million, or $2,354 per pupil – from the federal government.
Other findings in the report include: Federal, state, and local governments budget $734.2 billion or $14,484 per pupil to fund K-12 public education.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
