Report: Education system in Arizona rates C-:

"We're not last, but we're close.

Arizona has received a C- for the overall quality of its K-12 education system based on national comparisons of factors such as school spending, academic standards and teacher training, according to the annual 'Quality Counts' report card released this month.

Arizona was short of the national average, a C, and dropped from 43rd to 46th place among all 50 states in the national report by Editorial Projects in Education, the non-profit group that publishes 'Education Week.'"
