Wyoming has the highest per-capita spending per pupil in the United States (a fact that blows the “conservatives won’t spend on education” meme right out of the water). Being a product of the Wyoming public school system (private education is virtually nonexistent) I know the major advantage they have is natural resource extraction tax money. I personally went to schools largely paid for (at the time) by FMC and Stauffer Chemical impact fees.

Wyoming also has no state income tax and (with sales-tax-free Montana right next door) it is my retirement destination. But then, I’m used to the cold.
