International Educational Performance of the United States: Is There a Problem That Money Can Fix?
Goldschmidt, Pete; Eyermann, Therese S.
Comparative Education, v35 n1 p27-43 Mar 1999
The relationship of fiscal effort to eighth-grade achievement on international assessments was compared among U.S. states, for U.S. states versus foreign countries, and for the United States versus foreign countries. U.S. performance was as expected, given its relative fiscal effort, and several states were as efficient as top-performing foreign nations. Contains 31 references. (Author/SV)
