Why are Arizona schools outperforming their peers nationally? Thank school choice
The governing board recently released a short study hailing the fact that the gains of Arizona students on the NAEP test were roughly double the national average from 2005 to 2017. That was true for math in the fourth and eighth grades, and for reading in the same grades.
Now that the trend has been validated, and praised, by a national, mainstream educational organization, maybe it will finally become of some interest here in Arizona.
The question, of course, is why are Arizona students showing so much more improvement than students in other states?
