It's just that they don't waste money on the epic scale that other places do...
If spending more money was the answer, those areas spending 3 X's as much should have much better results, right?
Oh, and much of their success comes from parental involvement...
I remember one "Back to School Night". A new teacher walked into his "standing room only classroom, thinking many of us were in the wrong room. When he was assured we were all in the right place, he commented that he had never had that many people over the entire night as he did in his first period class...

Sorry, I should have been clearer and said your school was "more efficient" .
I completely agree, parental involvement is a major factor in school success. Of course that will open the door to what the parents should be involved in, but that is another debate.
Let's just agree that the more a child's parents are involved in their education and "up bringing" (there an oldie phrase) the better the odds are for a positive outcome for the child. If only everyone could be more involved, I wonder what they isn't the case?
