We are pleased to announce our analysis of the National Assessment for Educational Progress (NAEP) test scores by state in order to award this prestigious title.
Alaska placed 50th out of 50 states in reading. We placed next to last in math. That put our combined score as last place, edging out New Mexico.
There's a lot to be proud of. Both our math and reading scores fell by more than anyone else.
Massachusetts placed first in both. These are the 4th grade tests. 8th grade looks slightly better, but we want to keep our eye on the fresh crop, and that's the stupidest in the country.
I developed an algorithm to transform a state score into an international standing based on PISA (Program for International Student Assessment) tests. Then you can propose the question: if my state were a country, then where would it score internationally?
Ours is tied with Mexico, 19th percentile, but spends 450% more per student. That makes Alaska, objectively, the worst place in the world, the least amount of educational performance per dollar, worldwide. It is going to be by an enormous margin too.
To transform your state scores here is an example to follow. Alaska is 1.5 standard deviations below the national (NAEP) mean in reading. The USA is 23rd on the PISA with a score of 497 in reading, which has a standard deviation of 49. So 1.5 standard deviations is 73.64. So the US Score adjusted downward 1.5 standard deviations is a PISA score of 423.35. Mexico's is 423, and they are 19th percentile on the PISA. This is a first order approximation, our staff is prepared, for any $150 an hour client, to make a closer estimate with either our nine or seven year old math students. Nine year old packages come with more decimal places.
