Commentary on USNWR k-12 Rankings
I am not bashing the governor. But USNWR rankings are fake. (WY is 4th. I -adore- WY, but…no.)
Wisconsin is 22nd, based on demographic-adjusted NAEP national test rankings from 2024. (We were 23rd in 2019.)
Urban Institute says top 5 are MS, LA, MA, TX, IN, which makes sense.

When I took office 7 years ago, Wisconsin was ranked 18th in the nation for public education. Today, I'm proud we're in the top 5.

From K-12 to higher education, we've fought tooth and nail for public education, and we're going to keep fighting for our kids and schools. pic.twitter.com/It6hYFsyDb
