You can see % of kids in poverty in a district and also its “report card” ranking here:

[2011-12 Ohio School District Report Cards and Ranking | StateImpact Ohio](http://stateimpact.npr.org/ohio/2012/10/17/ohio-school-district-report-card-data-2011-12/#table)

If you cross-check poverty rate here: https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?docid=19rez3KxtK1tpcWuu3-pesA9z27e8m3pnZ45IaJo

With the rankings at the first link, you see a clear trend - poorer districts don’t do as well as wealthier districts.

I don’t think Ohio is particularly unique in this regard, and it from what I read, Texas has a similar funding system.
