- pavel_lishin 1y ago> Florida is 41st, California 32nd That seems to come from https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/public-school-rankings-by-state https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/public-scho.... https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/education https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/education, however, puts Florida at #22, and California at #38. That feels like a wild swing, so I have no idea how these estimates are determined. The NEA says, at least, that California is #2 in attendance, and Florida is #42. That sure feels significant: file:///private/tmp/2025_rankings_and_estimates_report.pdf
