Needlebase - Boston Public Schools 2011

Title
Description optional	For this one I have sorted the schools by how much better or worse their quant scores are than predicted by my best formula, so the schools at the left did better than predicted, the schools at the right did worse. Against this we can chart other factors, looking for correlations that might explain the variations. Here we see Per-Pupil Spending. If throwing school money at home poverty were effective, this line would be sloped from top left to bottom right. It very much is not. Try some other factors if you'd like: Students per Teacher, AP Classes, Enrollment? Nope.
