Charter schools cost $153 million for 427 students, or $358k per student
To be fair, that’s $153m over 4 years and the student numbers will probably increase. Let’s pretend there were 1000 students, so that’s 153,000,000 / 4 / 1000 = $38k per student per year.
For the rest of the school system, the govt spends ~$10k per student per year, see page 10, point 1.2. So Charter schools still cost nearly 4x as much and they don’t even work.
