儘管美國不同的州教育水平差別較大，但每個州都有頂尖的知名中學。

　　雖然加州擁有全美最強的公立大學——加州大學系統，近年來高校排名也不斷上升，但美國的許多常春藤盟校仍在東海岸，整體教育水平仍然是中東部略好一些。

　　日前，24/7 Wall St.分析整理了2017年版的“質量計數”報告。

　　馬薩諸塞州Massachusetts學校被評為全美所有州最好的，內華達州的學校系統的得分最低。而加州的學校在全美50州才排名41!

　　每年，教育周(Education Week)都會發布檢查全美各州教育數據的“質量計數”報告(QualityCounts report)。

　　該報告通過評估三個大類的指標: 學校財政、學生成績和環境因素，來確定各學校系統的實力。

　　而在排名最高的州，家長有資源支持他們的孩子在資金充足的學校學習;學生在課堂上報告高學術成績;畢業生能夠社會中尋找工作。
