I'm not an educator, I'm a parent and have looked into this a bit. There is a good book that I learned about from a Bill Gates TED talk.

Part of the problem isn't the total amount of money spent, its that a lot of that total comes with strings attached. Sure, you get x amount of money to run a DARE program, but that won't help kids read and is of questionable benefit. Want to question the benefit and use the money for something else needed and proven - you can't because the money is earmarked. This is one of the reasons why a wealthy district can spend less money, because it's their money they can allocate it how they want.
