[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the Post today:

But other numbers place the math results in a more sobering context. D.C. also has, by a wide margin, the nation’s highest proportion of 4th and 8th graders in the “below basic” category--and the lowest in proficient/advanced. Even allowing for the apples-to-oranges issue (comparing D.C., a city-state, to other states) the numbers are disturbing.

Forty percent of fourth graders are below basic, far behind Mississippi (28 percent) Louisiana (27 percent) California (26 percent) and Alabama (25 percent). Just 21 percent are proficient/advanced, again trailing Mississippi (25), Louisiana (26) and Alabama (28)

The numbers are worse in 8th grade with 52 percent below basic, again trailing Mississippi (42) Alabama (40) and Louisiana (37). The District is dead last in proficient/advanced (17 percent).
