But a study released last week by the University of Washington and a Washington, D.C., think tank suggests that something more basic might be at play -- schools with poorer students get less money.
"Put simply: money follows money," wrote College of Education research associate professor Marguerite Roza and Educator Sector researcher Kevin Carey. "At every level of government - federal, state and local - policy makers give more resources to students who have more resources, and less to those who have less."
