Yeah, property taxes are the worst way to fund schools. It causes extreme disparity between areas. That and I personally believe property tax is the most unjust tax.

Folks always focus on property taxes but property taxes only provide some of the revenue stream. Let's also look at the earned income tax. Places where the average household income is above $100k gain quite a bit in collected EIT whereas places where the average household income is 50k or less end up having to do without. Maybe give less state aid to the better off places and give more to those places with more resources?
