OH-IO 29th January 2012 |
I am a student in Ohio and have moved from Deleware City Schools to Olentangy Local Schools. From my experience Olentangy is WAY better than Deleware city. Just goes to show that education can differ dramiticly even from just a change in the School District your in. |

Is there a correlation between easy acce 23rd January 2012 |
It seems as if States with easier gun laws have a hard time educating their children |

My previous post wasn't posted maybe it was to lengthy. I will down to the meat and potatoes. We moved to Colorado from Kansas. My children are learning curriculum here in Colorado, that was the course of study in Kansas the previous year. From my personal experience Kansas is a whole year ahead of Colorado. |
|
Jamie 20th January 2012 |
Yikes tons of typos on my previous post. I am not representing Kansas well lol. To my defence it is 2 am. Why am I up so late? Trying to find a good school for my kids :/ We may have to consider moving again. |

Casey: In that case, AZ would be doing much better thanks to their immigration law. |

LOL 19th October 2011 |
Look everybody, Texas is Dumb!! |

Casey 14th October 2011 |
California has a low rating because of the large illegal population from Mexico. |

Hm, this report shows the source as being Morgan Quinto Press in 2005. The location of this press appears to be in Kansas. Compared to the statistics the US Chamber of Commerce released (http://icw.uschamber.com/reportcard), where Kansas received an F (2009), Kansas ranks high. Arizona is also ranked one of the top states on the US Chamber of Commerce site, but ranked last here. Additionally, it's stated that the outcomes of Morgan Quinto Press' 2005 stats emphasized three factors: "student achievement (somewhat vague), positive outcomes(very vague) and personal attention from teachers." |

Time Lord 4th October 2011 |
Wow, that's a pretty strong correlation: the above-average states are mostly Democratic-leaning, and the below-average states are mostly Republican-leaning. Vermont, the most liberal state, is #1. Arizona, the most racist state with the most stupid governor, is dead last. |

Go Kansas, screw Texas! :D |

I live in Minnesota..people always complain about the taxes but I always say, "go live in a low tax state and see how you like it." Then I name the states and their standard of living versus their taxes. Minnesota..I love it here. |
|
Vivi 15th August 2011 |
Az dead last. Explains why I am unable to have an intelligent conversation with people here without hearing an f bomb every five second. |

kyle 15th August 2011 |
Ma does have a good education system |

Oakdaddy 20th July 2011 |
Of course Jersey is up there. It's full of wiseguys! |

JA - The listing you alude to ranks schools by a number of factors (financial support, test scores, etc.). This ranks states by the average education of its citizens (not its students). Totally different. |
|
JA 19th June 2011 |
This does not jive with this list. http://www.walletpop.com/photos/best-and-worst-public-school-systems-in-us/ |

Im from New York and I just realized that almost all of the Northeastern states seem to be in the top ten...really proud to live up north! |

Concerned AZ Student 7th June 2011 |
Wow! I must be really dumb compared to other kids in vermont The Straights A's that I get would probably be straight F's In Vermont! I feel so ludicrous and simple-minded! |

Hello I was born in New York And they rank 10 in educational standards that is great but now I live in SOuth Florida and they rank # 36 in education that is a shame. |
|
steven sanchez 6th June 2011 |
Hello my name is Steven I was born in New York City and they rank number ten that is great but now I live in South Florida and it's a shame that they rank number 36 in education that its a big shame. |

Yay NJ :D |

Five of the ten worst are Confederate Southern states. It appears that the states with the highest number of black Americans are ranking the worst. Stereotypes are born of truths. |

Colorado is in the red?! Are you kidding me? This thing must be a joke. |

Six people live in Vermont and they all have MBA's. |

I work for an educational company and am not surprised by the outcome for the majority of states. Connecticut always sets the standards due to its high income #1, low divorce rate #49, low child poverty rate #49, and high educational attainment of its adult population #2. Some of you are saying that states with higher white populations did better, but Connecticut's minority rate is 25% which is high. Also, look at NY and NJ both of which have very high minority rates of over 35%, and Massachusetts with about a 21% minority rate. |

Minnesota Reppin! |

WA state #1 in rain fall, Well thats something we can brag on. |
|
rusty_shackleford 12th April 2011 |
It's sad to see Texas at number 24 but at the same time we are kind of disadvantaged from northern states due to the fact that almost 350,000 hispanics dropped out. I'm pretty sure there isn't that many hispanics in North Dakota and South Dakota combined. |

NewEnglander 8th April 2011 |
Progressive states know where their priorites should be. As for immigration skewering the stats... how many of the bottom 15-20 consistently vote Republican? |
|
Bob 1st April 2011 |
Go Democrats! |
|
Vicki 21st March 2011 |
Go Minnesota! |
|
H.+Ford 17th March 2011 |
Okay... but why CA is at the bottom? maybe not counting the smart Indian brains? |
|
H. Ford 17th March 2011 |
Okay, but why CA is also in the bottom? Maybe all those smart Indian brains are not counted in? |

Proud MA Resident 11th March 2011 |
Massachusetts...this is pretty amazing. We have an excellent cross section of races and cultures here, and we still rank #3. Other states say they value education, but we prove it. Way to GO!!!! -Proud MA resident |
|
Olivia 5th March 2011 |
Of course I feel ashamed. Even I feel that our education systems isn't so hot... |
|
Ryan Lyk 21st February 2011 |
If Walkers plan goes through, WI will probably remain by the state closest to it without collective bargaining: Virginia. |
|
Martin 21st February 2011 |
States with high immigration rates skew these stats... how can you do well in school if you can't understand English? |
|
Bob DR 21st February 2011 |
The real issue is our standing against our international competitors. The situation seems to be that the more money we throw at education and the more control the federal government takes the lower our students achievements. As an impartial observer (well I am a taxpayer) I think it is time to REALLY rethink our education system; the current one isn't working. The taxpayers are voting with their dollars as well as their ballots, and you're FIRED! |
|
Buddy 20th February 2011 |
The rankings just relfect those states that have the highest %'age of minority populations. So all you smart 'white' states have something to be proud of |
|
BillLivinez 19th February 2011 |
I am sure Walker can add Wisconsin to the likes of Texas, Arizona and Mississippi. |
|
wisconsinite 17th February 2011 |
I'm pretty sure after walker's thing goes through, wisconsin is gonna take a pretty deep dive down this list here to match the education level to that of mississippi or arizona...tisk tisk... |
|
inorite 3rd February 2011 |
Go KS (grad)! You are within the top 25! You might be higher if you taught the English language well enough to understand humor though. |
|
Scholarr 1st February 2011 |
Have you seen the dummies running around California? They are all over the place. I am not surprised at all. LOL |
|
Kalina 20th January 2011 |
Who would have thought California was one of the dumbest states out there? I'm so ashamed. Lets step up our game Cali! |

Kat 18th December 2010 |
Reason's why I'm leaving the state. Sick and tired of the legislature saying we need to bring in more industry and technology business to the state... then turn around and slash funding for education repeatedly... for many many years and then wonder why they can't get more educated people to move to the state or create them... yup that's my state consistantly dead last :P |
|
Katie 3rd December 2010 |
Actually, I believe AZ_Grad was being sarcastic, and is furthering the joke by calling his or herself 'AZ_Grad' while doing so. I'm from the Eastern seaboard, so I haven't heard a lot about Arizona's education systems one way or another. Interesting info, nonetheless. |
|
ks grad 28th November 2010 |
No wonder AZ is listed at 50th, look at previous posts, lol, there are only 50 states in the nation! So what they are saying is not only are they ranked 50th in the nation but dead last! |
|
my name 10th October 2010 |
Yeahh pennsylvania!!!! |
|
AZ_Grad 7th October 2010 |
Arizona managed to make the top 50, I am shocked they scored so high! Go AZ! |
|
Kiara 5th October 2010 |
Illinois: We're NOT last!!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
Treima 29th August 2010 |
Arizona 50th...yeah, I believe it. |
