The top states student scores for the ACT test 2024..
District of Columbia: 26.7
Connecticut: 26.5
California: 26.5
Massachusetts: 26.1
New Hampshire: 25.9
Rhode Island: 25.4
New York: 25.4
Maine: 25.0
Delaware: 25.0
Virginia: 24.8
Louisiana: 18
It’s still the usual states that are on top. Phonics aren’t helping high schoolers if they can’t get into College
FYI - On the ACT, Louisiana tests 100% of high school grads. California tests 3%, Massachusetts 7%, CT 8%, DC 17%. I think it's laughable that you thought DC was one of the top performing "states."

Louisiana uses ACT 100% but with only 1 or 2% of students taking SATs. Massachusetts, Connecticut, DC students use the SAT more than the ACT.
Kansas got the highest scores inthe SATs with only 2% of students taking it and that is puffed up. Same thing as DC. Half of the states require all students take the test, half don’t.
You’re tight, it’s hard to judge which states are doing better with SAT / ACT when they are having the same percentage of students taking the tests. But there is no reason to believe Southern schools will be better educated than they were a couple of decades ago.
Not with Republicans running the schools down there.
