What a joke.
Relocated to a southern state. Schools were open. Kids excelled.
That I doubt. Southern states’ public schools generally lag way behind the rest of the nation.
+1,000. If you’re actually comparing to the bulk of “Southern states’ public schools” and not cherry picking my the wealthiest suburbs in Texas or Florida.
DP but when DC people move south, we go to the rich areas. Other, poorer school systems are as relevant as Baltimore is to you. We moved south and the schools are much better, by all objective measures. The fact that the schools in backwater Arkansas suck is irrelevant.
Southern states are always at the bottom for public education at least by any objective measure, but whatever you got to tell yourself. Most of the right-wingnuts are already delusional.
Yep, the worst states for education are overwhelmingly (but not exclusively) Southern...
41 Arkansas
42 Oklahoma
43 Mississippi
44 South Carolina
45 West Virginia
46 Arizona
47 Alabama
48 Louisiana
You should really reread what I wrote.
Im not arguing that the south has better or even generally good schools. Im telling you that people who move from DC to the south and that report back that the schools are better are telling the truth. Like in the DC area, schools are divided by richer and poorer communities. That means that you can live in the south as a rich person with great public schools. Here, look at the national rankings of high schools. You'll note that while a few MoCo schools do well in the national rankings, they arent exactly dominating, and southern schools-- and AZ schools especially, which your ranking shows as among the worst-- do very well.
