SCHOOL FOR THOUGHT

The Sunshine State

The Sunshine State

We have mentioned a number of times that Florida is the US state with the most and the best school choice. The graph compares the learning gains of low-income grade 4 and grade 8 students on the national tests of reading and math between 2003 and 2009. (As an aside, get a load of the negative trend in West Virginia - a state with zero school choice.)

American parents of low-income children who are struggling in school would be well advised to head for Florida. Canadian? Well, there's always Alberta!
