Chicago has a high school built for 1,000 students. Today it has 27 students. It employs 28 adults. Taxpayers are spending nearly $100,000 per student. And not one student is proficient in reading or math. The only thing it's teaching is how government wastes your money.

Huge discrepancies reported in Chicago Public Schools - There is a public school in Chicago with space for 912 kids. 28 students were enrolled. The school is 97% empty and it spends $93,000 per year per student - The staff-to-student ratio is one-to-one, but there's not a single student that can read - There are over 100 public schools in the state of Illinois that reportedly have zero students proficient in reading or math - There are 20 public schools in Chicago that are basically empty “That's not an exaggeration. Zero students are proficient in reading from that school. Just because the government spends money doesn't mean they spend it efficiently or Well, and once it's use it or lose it, they'll use it. They will spend regardless. They know it's wasted money. They just keep spending and spending frivolously and they never fix any of the problems and they just keep proliferating. It's not about the good of the students, it's about the adults. — You wouldn't make a student go to school where they're spending $93,000 per student, and there's not a single student that can read that is public unions at work. Its leftist policies failed failure.”

Only 1 out of every 4 Chicago Public Schools students can read at grade level, and only 17% are proficient in math. Since 2019, CPS’s budget has grown by more than 57% to over $9 billion, yet there has been no significant improvement in test scores. Just 21% of students in Chicago can read and do math at an eighth-grade proficiency level. At Douglas Academy High School, which has the capacity for more than 900 students, only 34 were enrolled in 2024. The school spent $68,091 per student, 3x the average, yet failed to produce a single student proficient in either math or English at grade level.

🚨Mayday🚨for Chicago Public Schools. CTU is staging protest today while their kids are failing. At CICS Longwood campus, with 1,180 students, ZERO students are proficient in math. This despite spending over $21,000 per student, and an 83% graduation rate. What is going on in our schools?

40% of Baltimore city high schools have 0 students who test at a proficient level in math. This is not a student failure; it is a system failure.

WATCH: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson defines how he measures the success of Chicago Public Schools under his administration. “I personally don’t give a lot of attention to grades. I don’t…My responsibility is not simply to grade the system, but to fund the system. That’s how I’m ultimately going to grade whether or not our public school system is working. Based upon the investments that we make for the people who rely upon it.” This ideology is why Douglass High School is seeing a larger budget increase than any other school in the Chicago Public Schools system this year. The numbers are mind-blowing. 🔴 Douglass was originally built for 888 students in the Austin neighborhood, where Johnson lives. 🔴 Just 35 students attend Douglass today, meaning the school is 96% empty. Of those 35 students, 64% were chronically absent last year. 🔴 The new CPS budget expands Douglass staff from 23 to 32 employees (1.09 students per employee). 🔴 The school already spends more than $68,000 per student per year (excluding capital outlay and debt service). That’s enough money to send every Douglass student to one of the most elite private high schools in the country while saving extra money for college tuition. 🔴 Student achievement data has been redacted for Douglass, most likely due to too few student records. If fewer than 10 students are tested, the math/reading proficiency rate is redacted for student privacy purposes. It appears fewer than 10 students are enrolled in 11th grade at Douglass.

Only 3 in 10 students are proficient in reading and math. Despite decades and trillions spent, outcomes are still falling short. The status quo has failed our students—and this administration is demanding better.

🚨 “New York City's budget is $110 Billion. It's the biggest budget in the country by far. It spends $40,000 per student to send them to school, and less than half of the kids in elementary school are proficient in math and reading.”

The report card from Harrisburg is in and the results are alarming. Just 12% of Harrisburg High School students are proficient in reading. Only 2% are proficient in math. And science proficiency is just 3%. Our students deserve better. It’s time for Pennsylvania to opt-in to the federal Education Freedom Tax Credit and give families real options at getting a quality education.

Our education system is failing miserably Black American is asked to read this simple sentence The only words she can read is the word ‘funding’ and a couple more but can’t read or even pronounce most of the other words Here are the English proficiency score percentages according to national data Elementary School - White students: ~35–40% proficient - Black students: ~15–20% proficient Middle School - White students: ~30–35% proficient - Black students: ~12–18% proficient High School - White students: ~35–40% proficient - Black students: ~15–20% proficient Now obviously there is a gap here where white students are twice as likely to be proficient at reading compared to black students but that’s not the point The point is nobody passes on average. Even at 40% that’s less than half our kids finishing high school proficient at English This is horrible

In the state of Illinois over 100 schools reportedly have zero students proficient in reading or math. There are 20 public schools in Chicago that are mostly empty. It's "use it or lose it" at play. Districts spend every dollar, even wastefully, to avoid budget cuts. They don't fix problems, they create more. This is public unions in action. It's not about students; it's about employees. If students came first, school choice would be supported. Leftist policies at play.

Lakewood New Jersey has some very clear fraud happening - A Lakewood, New Jersey’s school district spends $48 million per year of taxpayer money busing just 449 students - That’a $107,000 PER STUDENT per year - In comparison, the average busing cost per student in the state of New Jersey is $1,901 per year per student For special education students specifically, the state average busing cost is higher but still only between $5,000 and $9,000 per year Lakewood’s per-student $44 million dollar busing cost for these 449 special ED students is roughly 10 times the New Jersey state average for special education busing “They are literally fleecing the New Jersey taxpayer”

We will shut down the Department of Education, without apology. Much better uses for that money: put that money back into parents’ pockets where it belongs. Here’s the hard TRUTH: there is an *inverse correlation* between how much $$ a public school spends per student & the actual outcomes that school achieves for its students. Solution: parents who move their kids to schools spending less $$ per student while achieving better outcomes ought to be able to keep half the money. Example: A student at a failing school in NYC that receives $40k per student, who transfers to a school 15 miles away that receives $20k per student, gets to keep half the difference, $10k. Do the math. The left calls math “racist.” I call it a $250k+ graduation gift for kids. You pick which one is better.

$20,000 per student should buy a world-class education. In Chicago, it buys luxury trips for staff and dismal test scores for students. School choice is the escape hatch from the failing system that Chicago families deserve!
