I would think New York and California have taken a dump with their education..

Louisiana probably has one of the highest rates of private school attendance as a percentage of total students. I don’t know if we included those students in the total? Was it just Louisiana and California/New York public schools?

Would be interesting to see a study only involving US citizens. CA and NY's numbers are skewed by all the illegals that don't speak English.

Teaching people to read is the most basic step in having an educated population.


Liberals have decided it's racist if you point out groups are struggling with reading. So, they just pass them anyway.


What did Tim Walz say? It's beautiful to go into a school and have 50 different languages being spoken? Something like that. But all that means is no one can effectively communicate with each other.

Because responsible parents know that the public system is garbage.

Yep. Didn't take me long to pull my oldest out and put him in private school. The middle about to start and the baby will go to private as well.

I would now like to see the data points on cost per student head to head in each state .

I have a feeling the southern states spend far less .

This is what happens when you put teachers' unions in charge of education. They do everything for themselves and nothing for the students.

I have a hard time believing that. Massachusetts is one of the whitest and wealthiest states in the country.

These are demographic adjusted results (i.e., they are adjusted to try to remove the effects of race and socio-economic differences). Poor kids in MS may be doing better than poor kids in MA, but there are a lot more of them in MS and on average kids are doing better in MA.

It’s a lot harder to be poor in MA than MS so poverty itself is probably a stronger indicator of social dysfunction in MA than in MS.

private school students in louisiana aren't required to take the state test. only students at schools that receive public money are required to take the state test.

We have a trend of honor graduates from our local high school failing out of college after a semester or two. Most of it is due to not being prepared (as opposed to going off and going buck wild).

They are in the school arent they?

On another note:

In September 2023, the Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) invalidated nearly 1,000 state test results following an investigation into irregularities at 12 schools in five districts.


I would have included Lousiana, but if you google cheating on standardized tests.....its pages long
