is to educate whole generations, but if California and Texas were to be graded for their achievements in the classroom, they would barely pass. They rank 36th and 41st, respectively, out of 51 states for educational outcomes, according to Education Week, a news firm.
California’s high costs help explain why increased spending has not produced better results. The average teacher’s salary in California is around $79,000, which is 50% more than in Texas, but that does not stretch far because of the extortionate cost of living. Many teachers struggle to buy their own house, says Eric Heins, who runs the California Teachers Association, a union.
The quality of teachers determines the performance of students, especially those from a low-income background. But in California firing underperforming teachers is more difficult than mastering advanced calculus. It is one of four states to offer lifetime tenure to teachers after only two years. In most states, including Texas, achieving tenure takes three or more years, and even after that it is easier to fire underperforming employees.
Texas wants 60% of its high-school graduates to receive a certificate, two- or four-year degree by 2030, but currently less than half that number are achieving that aim. California scores better in the quality of its universities, share of students enrolled and investment. It is widely believed to have the best public university system in the country, and between 2008 and 2018 increased higher-education funding per pupil by 3%, while Texas cut its by 23%.

Looks like minorities still fair better in Texas than CA
Texas has been trashing public education since George E. Bush! Just ask somebody here!
Alabama: 'Hold my beer.'
Shame
Depends upon what they’re actually attempting to achieve, doesn’t it? Look who’s paying for text books and creating the content. The Texas GOP rejected critical thinking skills, did they not?
The age old question: Nature VS Nurture
Education is not a cost. It is an investment. You poison your own well.
I'm a CA native who was educated before prop 13 began to erode funding. Recent propositions & state surplus will help close that gap but honestly, state & local govs are afraid to raise the tax. LA voters recently rejected a proposal. Shameful. I love my home for much but this 🙁
What else is government good at?
As a teen, the education system is a disaster - most of us learn more off of YT videos than in some of our classes ... the best thing FloridaGovernor RonDeSantis did was get rid of CommonCore ... that’s just the tip of a sinking iceberg but a good start ... long way to go
Poverty numbers don’t lie either. Poverty affects education.
Curiously, Asians are left out. why?
Numbers dont lie folks
カリフォルニアがそんな順位とは意外 何が原因なんやろ？
