Graphs for Thought on Education Spending

Here are some rankings among OECD countries for the US in education…

Spending per pupil in Primary-Tertiary Education - US is 1st.
Math scores of 15 year olds - we’re 9th
Science - we’re 14th
Reading - we’re 13th

We are behind Mexico yet Mexico spends the least. We spend the most by far out of anyone, and we yield mediocre at best results. Just keep these charts in mind the next time some lib says we don’t spend enough.

Here are some graphs to show you the comparisons.
