The following chart shows the spending per pupil for each of Ohio’s school districts rated “excellent with distinction” for the 2008-2009 school year, except two. Some local districts are noted. For example, Loveland’s cost per student is $9,445. That is also the median – the point at which half of the districts spend more and half spend less. Sycamore’s $13,523 cost per student is $4,078 more than the median. If Sycamore’s bloated cost structure were reduced to the median of excellent with distinction districts, taxes would be Spending per Student (FY2009)
