“good news i think”
This post at a Field Guide to Urban City Memphis stated that Tennessee ranked 16th in the nation for public education. That’s a pretty good piece of info for my paper. It does go against everything I looked up though XD.
In one of my earlier posts I had stated that I had heard Tennessee fell pretty low in a nation-wide school ranking (we’re talking bottom five here). This was…around 3 years ago I think. Three years is a lot of time to improve, but I’m also hearing and reading that the schools are getting worse. They did just get rid of the Gateway test, so maybe standards are being raised. Either that or all of the other schools in the country are seriously slacking.
Looking at the image thumbnail, Tennessee scored a C+. That’s average, but it could be a bit better. I’m not so much a perfectionist that I’d keep trying to get an A+ or something, but it’s definitely a start.
This is just Tennessee though. What about Memphis schools ranking? I’m sure I can find something once I look it up. I need to find what Memphis schools rank in a state-wide or even nation-wide review. That would definitely help me write more for my report.
