The problem with Chula Vista, and much of Southern California, is that they've been absolutely inundated with illegals. My friend, who's an English teacher in the San Diego school system, has told me that she is basically teaching ESL as opposed to writing, literature, spelling, etc.
They are stretched so thin because of "No Child Left Behind". They are trying to get functionally illiterate, Spanish-speaking children to achieve at the level required by NCLB. The class sizes are so huge now that her classroom has been relocated to a trailer with few windows and intermittent air conditioning.
And actually, the expenditures per student vary quite a bit throughout the country. No surprise that the least amount of money spent per student is in the South/Midwest. Look at the difference between Arkansas and Connecticut, for example.
