Charts: Digging Education Info Out Of The Kid's Count Report
Don't be scared. You can do it. Let me boil down the latest Kid's Count report for you:
Your state's education data is the purple ring on the interactive datawheel to the right. Click and spin -- it's fun!
NH, VT, and MA are best, NV, MI, NM are the worst over all, according to Wonkblog (Child well-being in four charts).
It's pretty much the same story when it comes to states' education rankings (Education rankings here).
Education subcategories? You got it: Children ages 3 to 4 not enrolled in preschool, 4th grade reading achievement levels, 8th grade math achievement levels, High school students not graduating on time
We do have, overall, a fantastic healthcare system for children here. I didn’t think we’d be the best worldwide, but I know it’s very good. Education, if only because we’ve screwed fewer things up than most major cities (and actually, our largest city is 40,000 strong), we also do pretty well with.
