By contrast, all 10 of the lowest-ranked states are in the South, Southwest, or West. Results on the Chance for Success Index illustrate the continuing regional disparities that exist on key economic and educational indicators.
Five of the six states with the best Chance for Success scores are located in an East Coast corridor between New Hampshire and Virginia. These states often top the rankings for both academic outcomes and the underlying socioeconomic factors that can contribute to them. For instance, Massachusetts, which has the highest 4th grade reading and 8th grade math test scores, is also third in family income and fourth in parental education levels.
Similarly, New Hampshire is third in both 4th grade reading and 8th grade math scores. A snapshot of the lowest-scoring states on the grading map for Chance for Success would zero in on the South and Southwest, including Louisiana, Nevada, and New Mexico at the bottom of the grading scale. These states have poor test scores and fewer resources to support student success. Louisiana is last for 8th grade math test scores and 49th for family income.
Nevada is on the lowest rung of the ladder for parental education and 42nd for 4th grade reading scores. Similarly, New Mexico has the lowest rank for family income and is last for 4th grade reading achievement. Florida finishes 43rd for family income, but ninth for 4th grade reading achievement. Kentucky ranks 41st for family income and 39th for parent education, but stands 22nd in 4th grade reading.
Some top-tier states stand out because they continue to improve in certain areas despite already occupying a high place in the rankings. These states typically have strong economies and well-educated populations serving as long-term advantages. For instance, New Jersey, the top-ranked overall state in , is 17th for improvement in its K Achievement score from to with a solid gain of 4.
Connecticut, ranked third overall in , has the second-best improvement in K Achievement over that span, an increase of 9. By contrast, 12 states declined by a point or more in K Achievement during that period.
Several traditionally high-performing states fell the most: Vermont Four of the five states with the greatest improvements in their overall scores since last year are in the West. The increase in its high school graduation rate from to is the second-largest in the nation. It also made solid gains in adult educational attainment, parental education levels, and family income. California improved its overall finance score the most since last year, gaining 3. Its gains were fueled by major increases in per-pupil spending and the percent of total taxable resources spent on education.
The percent of students in districts with per-pupil expenditures at or above the U. The results can be compared with data from the report, the year that the three current Quality Counts indices were first established with their present scoring system. A closer look at the data, however, reveals that outcomes on particular metrics making up those overall scores stand out for improvement, while results for others merely inched up or declined.
For instance, the percent of children with at least one parent holding a postsecondary credential increased by 7. But the percent of 3- and 4-year-olds enrolled in preschool over the past decade only grew by 1. State officials said school districts will open this week or within the next few weeks with a hybrid model of both in-person and remote learning, while will open all-remote with students doing assignments at home.
Only 68 school districts will have all in-person classes and 22 will have some combination of schools with in-person, hybrid and remote learning. The numbers include both public school districts, charter schools and some private schools that serve students with disabilities supervised by the state, officials said.
The Education Week ranking said New Jersey still has room for improvement. Though New Jersey was second in the nation in categories that measure K student achievement and fifth in the nation for how its students succeed in adulthood, it was 17th in how kids are prepared to start school. The state also ranked 47th in the nation in children with parents who speak fluent English, largely due to the high number of immigrants in New Jersey.
The state also ranked in the bottom tier of states for finance equity, meaning how well schools are funded can vary widely based on where they are located. Sponsored Honor those who served, and remember why by.
