Why is the U.S. falling behind?

This article from bloomberg states 'U.S. spends more on primary and secondary education than most developed countries, yet has larger classes, lower test scores and higher dropout ratesU.S. spends more on primary and secondary education than most developed countries, yet has larger classes, lower test scores and higher dropout rates".
What could be the cause?
Is it a statistical distortion? where schools with small budget are lumped in with affluent school districts leading to these numbers!?
Or
Is this confirming the results of the coleman report? http://webapp.icpsr.umich.edu/cocoon/ICPSR-STUDY/06389.xml
Or
Something else?
