How stupid is this rating system?

6. Idaho Worst
> Overall grade: D+
> State Score: 67.7
> Per pupil spending: $8,123 (4th lowest)
> High school graduation rate: 84.0% (16th highest)
> Eighth graders proficient in math or reading: 36.5% (22nd highest)

9. New York Best
> Overall grade: B-
> State Score: 80.0
> Per pupil spending: $17,326 (4th highest)
> High school graduation rate: 78.0% (17th lowest)
> Eighth graders proficient in math or reading: 32.3% (18th lowest)

Idaho gets better results at half the price but Idaho is stuck at the bottom while NY is rated near the top all because of their spending levels.

Typical leftist solution — Got a problem? Throw more money at it. Problem gets worse? You just aren’t spending enough.
