Show Notes
Marylands public schools, despite receiving billions in extra funding, are struggling with declining performance. Graduation rates remain stagnant, and SAT scores have significantly dropped since 2017. Baltimore City, in particular, has seen a 15-year high in dropout rates, despite a 38% increase in funding over eight years. Education advocate Jeanne Allen suggests bold changes like school choice through charters, private options, and vouchers, citing Miami-Dade County as a successful example where students outperform Baltimore on federal tests while spending less per pupil.
