Performance ranks are based on 2011 NAEP data. Improvement ranks are based on 2003 ? 2011 improvement. All

ranks are based on unrounded scale scores and do not take statistical significance into account. Lower numbers

indicate better rankings (i.e., a rank of 1 means that the state has the best performance of all states). Ranks are based

on states that have enough students in a particular group to report NAEP results. For example, in 2011, 47 states

reported fourth-grade reading results for Latino students.

College-Going Rates by State (Page 7): NCHEMS Information Center, 2012, "College Participation Rates: College-Going Rates of High School Graduates Directly from High School, 2008." College-going rates are calculated by dividing the number of recent high school graduates from a given state that are enrolled in any degree-granting institution anywhere in the U.S. (based on data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education System) by the total number of high school graduates from that state, including non-public high school graduates (from the National Center of Education Statistics). These numbers represent the best-available estimates of postsecondary access by state. Rankings are based on unrounded numbers.

College Graduation Rates by State (Page 7): U.S. Department of Education, 2011, United States Education Dashboard, available at: and . The graduation rate for four-year colleges (includes public, private (non-profit), and for-profit sectors) is the percentage of students graduating with a bachelor's degree within 6 years of entry from the four-year degree-granting institutions where they started as full-time, first-time bachelor's degree-seeking students in Fall 2003. The graduation rate for two-year colleges (all sectors) is the percentage of students graduating with an associate's degree or certificate within three years of entry from the two-year degree-granting institutions where the students started as full-time, first-time degree- or certificate-seeking students in Fall 2006. Institutions are categorized as two- or four-year institutions based on their highest degree offering.
