States' report card ignores family data - UPI.com:

"PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 12 (UPI) -- A California education researcher said a category in an education magazine's annual states' report card doesn't accurately assess student potential for success.

Margaret Raymond, director of the Center for Research on Education Outcomes at Stanford University in Palo Alto, said the 'chance for success' area, one of six on the magazine Education Week's 'Quality Counts 2010' report cards, is not reliable in measuring a state's ability to help young people succeed, a release by Stanford University reported."
