That statement is kind of obvious- poor means less money than wealthy. However, if you meant urban school districts vs rural/suburban school districts- I think you're wrong in most cases. Large cities have huge tax bases, and more importantly, with poorer students they're entitled to a much larger chunk of the available federal monies.

For example, in 2003 the median expenditures per student was $7,254, while Washington DC school district spent $11,847 per student, far above the average. Of course, they're still getting terrible educations- but that's another matter.
