West Virginia teachers continue walk out in a state already lagging in student achievement

March 3rd, 2018 by WCBC Radio

West Virginia ranked 44th on U.S. News and World Report’s 2017 best U.S. high schools list. The state fared a little better on the magazine’s Pre-K to 12th-grade ranking, coming in at 41st. The highlight is No. 1 for Pre-K quality, according to the magazine, which credited the 2016 Census as the source of its data.  After that, however, the other rankings fall off to 39th in college readiness, 18th for its high school graduation rate, 46th for math scores, 42nd for reading and 48th for pre-school enrollment.  The state also came in 49th for WalletHub’s best and worst U.S. school systems ranking.
