If a state spends a lot, neighboring states will have to spend more. Pennsylvania has many low cost areas, but it needs to spend a lot to keep up with New York State. Why? Arizona is at the bottom of the chart. California is more than half way up the chart, and it is next door.

There’s a lot of desert between Riverside, CA and Phoenix, AZ.
If you live in the Poconos and are a teacher, you might commute to New Jersey or New York State to get an extra $20K/year. So Pocono school districts have to pay more. And Scranton has to pay more. And so does Hazleton. And so does Harrisburg.
Riverside is just too far away from Phoenix for a tolerable commute.

Catholic schools educate children for around $5000 a year and many private Christian schools do it for even less than that.IOW, more than $1500 less than Utah which runs the most efficient public school system in the nation.
Why do you suppose that it?
