U.S. Spending on Education Tops Global List However Students Still Trail on International Tests

Brain Drain

(EAG News) The U.S. spends more than other developed nations on its students education each year–despite spending about $11,000 per elementary student and $12,000 for high school students in 2010 factoring in the cost of programs–the U.S. spent on average $15,171 annually per student, more than any other nation covered in the study the Associated Press reports.

What do we get for all of this spending? Continued mediocrity.
