关于教育支出是否影响成绩的争论已经持续了几十年，主要是因为使用地区层面的数据在方法和分析上存在局限性。在这项研究中，作者分析了一个大型中北部城区89所公立小学在支出和成绩方面的独特区内差异。分析显示，该区内的支出存在相当大的差异，这与当地种族和阶级分层和集中的模式有关。他们展示了这些地方驱动的不平等及其与特定学校资源的联系如何对五个不同学科领域的成就产生影响。最后，作者讨论了他们的发现对理解阶级和种族教育不平等的本地生产以及最近在美国许多城市明显的再隔离运动的影响。
The debate over whether educational spending shapes achievement has persisted for decades, largely because of methodological and analytical limitations associated with the use of district-level data. In this study, the authors analyzed unique within-district variations in spending and achievement among 89 public elementary schools in a large, North Central, urban district. The analyses reveal considerable disparities in spending within the district, which are linked to local patterns of racial and class stratification and concentration. They show how these locally driven inequalities and their links to specific school resources have consequences for achievement in five distinct subject areas. The authors conclude by discussing the implications of their findings for understanding the local production of class and racial educational inequality and recent moves toward resegregation that are evident in many U.S. cities.
