43rd Place – Nevada
Though we’ve seen that the lower rankings on this list are mainly from the southern states of the country, Nevada breaks the pattern by adding a western state to the bottom ten. It appears that entertainment has overshadowed education in the state.
Nevada can be quite pleased with this ranking, as it has been much closer to the top in recent years. Previously, it was ranked at the very bottom of Education Week’s list, so it appears that progress is being made. Just as things were looking up, however, the next report came out.
