“A new analysis of the nation’s public schools, by personal finance site WalletHub, ranks California’s system among the worst.
In fact, a spokeswoman for WalletHub says, “California has the 12th worst school system in America.”
The study was based on 17 metrics, including student-to-teacher ratio, dropout rates and average SAT and ACT scores. Compared with the other 49 states and the District of Columbia, California ranked 47th in reading test scores, 46th in math test scores and dead last in student-teacher ratios.
We were 43rd for our high number of disciplinary incidents per 100,000 students, 35th for SAT scores and 33rd for our dropout rate. One of our best showings was in the percentage of licensed or certified public school teachers in the state; by that metric, we’re No. 22. Huzzah!”

I am surprised that it is’t lower. I grew up in the East Bay in the 1950’s and 60’s. At that time the high school from which I graduated had the distinction of sending one of the greatest percentages of its graduates to The University of California and Stanford (I graduated in Mechanical Engineering from Berkeley in 1965). At that time, there were four Engineering Schools that were considered the best, Cal, Cal Tech, Stanford and MIT (three out of four in California wasn’t too bad). I can honestly say that growing up where I did was a choice experience, but that’s all gone today.
I will take a wild guess that Libtards allowing CA to be overrun by illegals may have a lot to do with those numbers, since it would tend to drive up public school class sizes and drive down performance averages. Similar to how the hospitals are overwhelmed, especially ERs. But hey, it’s Democrap Paradise!
I'll give may analysis and you can give your analysis.

The fewer teachers, the better!
