STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — The quality of education of any state is a key indicator of economic, social and cultural success — and some states have better school systems than others.
College scholarship resource Scholaroo recently released a report that revealed the best and worst school systems of 2023, comparing all 50 states to see how they’ve fared in terms of student success, school quality and student safety.
Student success can be measured through various academic metrics, such as test scores and graduation rates, while school quality accounts for the level of resources available to school districts. Student safety includes security measures, bullying prevention programs, and other initiatives designed to ensure students feel safe at school.
According to Scholaroo, the data set considered a depth of topics across 43 key indicators, ranging from metrics that measure how much a student is enabled to succeed, to metrics that measure the school’s security.
Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 being the max.
Finally, Scholaroo determined each state’s weighted average across all metrics to calculate its overall score, and used those scores to rank-order the states.
So where does New York rank?
New York had the sixth-best public school system, according to the report.
The state received a total score of 81 — ranking fourth in school quality, 13th in student success and 23rd in student safety. New York also ranked first for the highest per-pupil spending, and ranked fifth for the highest math scores.
Here are the top 10 best public school systems in 2023, according to Scholaroo.
