This morning I was on Yahoo and it said that Massachusetts is 2nd in the top five for national education.

2. Massachusetts

> State score: 84.1

> State grade: B

> High school graduation rate: 79.1% (8th highest)

> Per pupil expenditure: $13,507 (13th highest)

Massachusetts received the highest grades of all states for both K-12 achievement and chance for success. It was the only state where more than half of fourth and eighth graders scored proficient in mathematics on assessment tests in 2011 --- 58.4% and 51.2% respectively. Massachusetts was also the only state in the country where more than 50% of fourth-graders were deemed proficient in reading, as less than a third of students in the U.S. received that distinction.
