尽管美国不同的州教育水平差别较大，但每个州都有顶尖的知名中学。

　　虽然加州拥有全美最强的公立大学——加州大学系统，近年来高校排名也不断上升，但美国的许多常春藤盟校仍在东海岸，整体教育水平仍然是中东部略好一些。

　　日前，24/7 Wall St.分析整理了2017年版的“质量计数”报告。

　　马萨诸塞州Massachusetts学校被评为全美所有州最好的，内华达州的学校系统的得分最低。而加州的学校在全美50州才排名41!

　　每年，教育周(Education Week)都会发布检查全美各州教育数据的“质量计数”报告(QualityCounts report)。

　　该报告通过评估三个大类的指标: 学校财政、学生成绩和环境因素，来确定各学校系统的实力。

　　而在排名最高的州，家长有资源支持他们的孩子在资金充足的学校学习;学生在课堂上报告高学术成绩;毕业生能够社会中寻找工作。
