While College View Middle School and F.T.

While the data reveals significant differences in spending per student, with Daviess County Middle School spending $18,371 per student compared to around $11,500 for the other two schools, the similar student-teacher ratios across the schools indicate that this metric alone does not fully explain the disparities in academic performance.
