California spends about twice as much per student today (inflation adjusted) as it did before Prop 13 passed, so it doesn't track that Prop 13, or underfunding, is the cause of the poor performance.


All the 200+ student classes would certainly hurt them a lot though since that's a big chunk of some rankings.


I meant that primary/secondary funding per student had doubled. The UC and CSU systems have gotten less money from the state, but not because of Prop 13 which limited property tax rates. UC/CSU weren't and aren't receiving property tax revenue.


Prop 13 made it harder to raise all tax rates


That does not include capital expenditures
