Have you ever wondered how your state’s educational performance compares to the performance of other states? Now with the new State of the States in Education document released yesterday by the Department of Education, you can see a snapshot of how educational performance varies substantially across states.

The document shows the 10 highest and lowest performing states (based on 2009 data) on basic indicators of educational performance, as well as showing:

• Four-year on-time high school graduation rates, by state, with separate state-by-state comparisons for Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics.
• State-by-state college-going rate of high school graduates.
• State-by-state three-year college graduation rates for Associates Degrees.
• State-by-state six-year college graduation rates for Bachelors Degrees.
