The reason it is really tough to say that is Urban areas tend to be controlled by Dems and they have some of the worst public schools in the country. I don't think it is that simple. Suburban areas tend to be a little more republican and it has some of the best schools. I think it is really more about economic factors other than who they voted for. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment

I think I may have found the Krass source…..and the ranking data used is probably different than what we would think it as based off of. https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/public-school-rankings-by-state WalletHub ranked each state's public schools for "Quality" and "Safety" using 33 relevant metrics. Metrics included high school graduation rate among low-income students, math and reading scores, median SAT and ACT scores, pupil-teach ratio, the share of armed students, the number of school shootings between 2000 and June 2020, bullying incidence rate, and more. Based on these metrics, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey have the best public schools in the United States. 2 Link to comment
Archy1221 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I think we are gonna find a lot more of this going on when these papers get more scrutiny across other Professors and other schools. 1 1 Link to comment

Crusader Husker Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Education is a complicated issue that neither side of the aisle can fix by themselves. What you do in a wealthy suburban school may not work in the inner city. Get the freaking Politians as far away as freaking possible and let educators make decisions. Parents need to support their kids in education and allow them to grow and learn. Don't protect them from the consequences of their actions or their learning. They need to learn from them. Realize that in certain situations, schools need to be the central part of the community and that might be expensive. Meaning there might have to be medical and social services available at the school. There may need to be plenty of after school activities to support the education of kids where families fail to provide the support. Again, this may be expressive, but not needed everywhere. Bring back and expand vocational education. Kids that are capable of college, move them on. There is not a one solution fix for education. Fund what works, cut what doesn't. 1 2 Link to comment
