Because most school districts receive similar funding in the US.

I don’t think that’s true - lots of funding is based on local taxes and those don’t bring in the same revenue everywhere

Offset by state and federal funding. See here.

That article also says that there are big differences in funding across states

Fair, there's variance, but I don't see what this has to do with outcomes of students.

Utah has high test scores, and low funding. DC the exact opposite.

I did not know that. Still does not mean all school districts are created equally though. There are definitely some where the students are not offered the same quality of education

Lower income districts receive MORE funding... throwing money at schools doesn't fix bad/absent parenting.
