DC's Schools rank 51st in Nation, VA, MD have strong showing
The Post has a piece up today on the rankings from Editorial Projects in Education (publisher of Education Week, one of the big rags in the Edu-industry) that place the District dead last among the states based on a formula that makes the BCS look like something you learned in Grade School. Yeah, DC got a D-. Virginia got a B- and Maryland brought home a B. Maryland was actually #3 in the poll, which is pretty impressive. Looks like DC's got work to do.
From the Article:
"Quality Counts is widely considered to be the most thorough evaluation of school performance because more than 150 data points are used in the report. The complex formula, which measures student achievement, standards and assessments and teacher pay, among other factors, ranks Maryland as the third-best state school system in the country with a B average. Virginia comes in fifth with a B-minus and the District last with a D-plus."
