Maryland Ranked Third Best School System

Is it any wonder why I am as brilliant as I am. Okay I'll stop the bragging because it so happens that I ended up living where I did and going to the school I did by happenstance. According to the The Quality Counts report, an annual publication from Editorial Projects in Education, ranked the 50 states plus the District on six areas of education performance and policy. The complex formula, which measures student achievement, standards and assessments and teacher pay, among other factors, rates Maryland as the third-best state school system in the country with a B average. New York was second and Massachusetts was first.

So I went to the two best school systems in the country. I would say Maryland moreso than NY because I did go through the NYC public school system, which is not bad but it ain't no Exeter! In Maryland, I was enrolled in IB (International Baccalaureate) and came out ahead with 21 extra college credits.

Actually you can never be assured of success except for hard work and some luck along the way, even if you went through DC's school system, which was ranked last!
