I don't believe that the district spending per pupil is just the high school but the whole district. I've never seen it broken out that way.

Third best? That's third highest. Big difference.

Actually looks like we spend the 2nd highest per pupil system wide but only achieve the 14th best in performance evaluations. Not sure these evaluations are conducted in a way that truly measures results but they are consistently applied to all towns so are valid for comparison.
