Florida’s School System Drops Out of Top Ten While Bushies Insist on Status Quo
From the Tampa Bay Times Ron Matus:
Florida’s education system fell in rank from No. 5 to No. 11 this year due to budget cuts and stalling national test scores, according to a closely watched annual report released today.
The report card from the Education Week newspaper, which was provided in advance to the Tampa Bay Times and other news outlets, is another recent sign that Florida’s education star may be dimming.
On the academic achievement portion of the report, Florida dropped from No. 6 to No. 12.
