[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, DC is a city. It is a single urban area with no suburb, being compared to full states.

If you compare DC to other major cities, it is different.

Not saying DC is doing great by all of its students (some yes, for sure), but the chart you are citing is useless.[/quote]
Not OP but taking that into consideration I think #30 is pretty good.

31 Washington
32 Arkansas 
33 Kansas 
34 Ohio 
35 Missouri
36 Georgia 
37 Idaho
38 Michigan
39 Nevada 
40 California 
41 Hawaii
42 Alabama 
43 Mississippi 
44 Oregon
45 Oklahoma 
46 South Carolina 
47 West Virginia 
48 Arizona
49 Louisiana 
50 Alaska
51 New Mexico[/quote]

30 is in the middle, not great but not bad.  Do we trust "Wallethub" though?[/quote]

Article says they used 32 key metrics but do not list what they are all and what % does it contribute to the score/ranking.  If high school graduation is one of them, then DC’s number is really artificially inflated because we all know the kids graduate no matter if they are reading at 3rd grade level or have 100 days of truancy.

Also the few criteria of the 32 they do list, DC is in the lowest group with math and reading and % threatened or injured kids in high school.[/quote]
