Washington D.C.’s “public” (government) schools are often denounced for their wretched performance. Students incarcerated in that system regularly rank near the bottom in tests that measure academic achievement.
Yet, according to the Cato Institute’s Andrew J. Coulson, bad schooling in dangerous and dilapidated buildings doesn’t come cheap.
The average cost of educating a child in Washington D.C.’s school system is “close to $25,000 per child — on par with tuition at Sidwell Friends, the private school Chelsea Clinton attended in the 1990s,” Coulson says.
