What does money really have to do with it?

School financing derives from federal, state, and local sources, as we read from these sources. However, because a lot of that funding is local, this creates enormous financial disparities between rich and deprived towns. There are disparities across states, educational districts inside every state, and even campuses within these individual districts. Underprivileged students' success is likely to suffer the consequences of these disparities in school financing because these students are more likely to go to impoverished schools. What happens now is that these students are then also more likely to be victimized by a huge deficit of classroom resources needs and tools because they aren't receiving enough money to provide students with what they need for a successful educational experience.

Students from low-income households will bear the brunt of the consequences of the United States' system of uneven school funding because of the convenience and push for them to attend these underfunded schools and districts.   Furthermore, one would expect underprivileged students to struggle and greatly underperform in school particularly if they receive education through these schools with very little resources and very little attention directed towards their needs. These local property taxes have long been used to pay for public schools in the United States and suburban opposition to ideas for more fairness in public school funding has been fierce. There is an ongoing fight between the privileged communities and the underprivileged communities. Fairness in the funding should be an obvious and attainable option but it is not. What does money really have to do with it? It has everything to do with a student’s success and their life after graduation.
