School Funding: Where Does Your State Rank?

Education Week's "Quality Counts" publication includes, every year, a chart "grading" the nation's school systems based on several funding factors, including total spending, weighted spending, and equality in resource distribution.  The chart is here.  I find it particularly interesting that states which have experienced school finance litigation ending with a dismissal or judgment in favor of the state are fairly evenly distributed throughout the list.  I also find it interesting that most of the states at the very bottom have not experienced any school finance litigation at all.
