Florida Makes Top 10 In Education
The 2009 Quality Counts: Portrait of a Population report, published annually by Education Week gave Florida the 10th highest education ranking in the United States. Florida's ranking has risen significantly in the past few years, up from 14th in 2007 and 31st in 2006. The reports ranks states in six categories including, Chance for Success; Transitions and Alignment; School Finance; K-12 Achievement; Standards, Assessments, and Accountability; and the Teaching Profession. Florida ranked 7th in K-12 Achievement and 4th in the Teaching Profession. This ranking comes on the heels of Florida's 2007-08 High School Graduation Rate, which reached the highest points ever this year over 75 percent.
