A Ranking of State Education Systems

[Ibanez]

We should change the name from the "War of Northern Aggression" to the "War that just won't shut up"

Agreed. I'm all for DAR and SCV and the reenactments, but the Dixie Outfitter crowd can go jump in a lake with Nessie!

If Washington State could FLUSH the Eastern half of the state down the toilet nothing would hold this Great State back....

Cheney school district is ranked amongst the top public schools in the nation. And I'll have you know that the Harvard of the Palouse is the fastest growing school in the state and ranked 60 in directional universities. So yeah...so you can go suck a hipster fatty while we should off your power supply and feed apples, potatoes, and wine to the rest of the world.

Master TROLL Strikes again...

Kalm: You've been trolled

I had recently just read about the Washington State school systems and the strength of the Eastern sides programs and knew (Absolutely KNEW) I could TROLL Kalm into a feisty response...

I'm pretty proud of myself right now

Kansas is used as a poster child by Democrats for all that is wrong with Republican policies but according to this their school system ranking was 5th while their spending ranking was 34th.

the exception that proves the rule

Listen, Mr Likes the Smell of His Own Brand, you should only be proud if it was a subtle troll…which yours wasn't. Mine…on the other hand got Ivy and GATW immediately on my team.

Reverse troll motherfucker!

Georgia #32. SAD. With all of the Colleges and Universities in my State and we can only get to #32. Our State Repukes can't see to fund local Schools. They send their childern to private school. Again, its the Repukes who are destroying GA's education system. Teachers in GA have not gotten a raise in 8 years. All under a Repuke who was running the state.

One clear pattern in that data (which you always see in data like this) is that spending is a weak predictor of school quality, and there are plenty of high-spending schools that are bad (upper-left) and low-spending schools that are rated well (lower-right).

I'd bump GA down about 5 spots just for producing YOU

Our education problems are socio-economic problems.
