A recent study conducted by Editorial Pages in Education (EPE) found that spending more money on education per student does not mean that the education system is effective. An example is reflected in the SAT score 50 states ranking. The top 5 states with the highest SAT scores are not in the top 20 highest spenders on education per student. Iowa the number one state in SAT scores ranks number
. 25 on dollars per student. Illinois number 2 on the SAT list ranks number 34 on the dollars spent per student. You can find more information here: http://blog.bestandworststates.com/2009/01/29/state-rankings-on-education-spending.aspx
