Quality Counts 2018 Report

Education Week’s annual state-by-state assessment of public education paints a portrait of middling performance overall with patches of high achievement, along with perennial struggles to improve on the part of states mired at the bottom. Common traits of top school systems included: robust economic environments, high test scores and graduate rates, relatively high spending on schools, strong foundations in early childhood, widespread post-secondary participation. 

States need to take bold steps to create a more conducive climate for school improvement.
