Abstract
Because inquiry-based, resource intensive Biology instruction is more costly than Literature instruction, a relationship between district-wide per-pupil expenditure and performance differences between Biology and Literature exams is hypothesized. Using Pennsylvania’s Keystone exams, analyses reveal a small but significant effect, with higher expenditures associated with smaller gaps in mastery between Biology and Literature.
