Another reason not to move here. Stay in your Blue state and pay through the nose in taxes

I was curious, had to look this up. Florida isn't in the top 10 worst according to this site. They're number 28.

The ACT doesn't test the things that Florida schools are teaching. Nary an Old Testament question on it. Give us a couple more years and we'll have the highest average vacation bible school GPA in the world without our graduates being exposed to woke concepts like evolution or "slavery was bad". These things take time.

hysterical.....the more kids took the test.....the lower the states scores!

Connecticut and Massachusetts tied for the highest average...26.4.....but only 8% even took the test

states that tested 100% are all at the very bottom...worst scores

Florida is flat in the middle...tested 46%.....18.9

wonder how Florida would have ranked if only testing 4% like California...25.7

...their ranking means absolutly nothing

The ACT is historically more predominant in the Southern States, most Northern states use the SAT which is why low percentages of participants was noted in your examples.

please.....thread is about Florida's ACT scores.....low percentage is because it's not required in those states....and the only ones taking it are the smart ones trying to get into college

that's why a state that only tests 4% have such high averages....college admissions

...and states where it mandatory....test 100%...have such low averages....not college material

9 states require SAT.....not even close to "most" .....15 use ACT > https://www.chariotlearning.com/whic...state-testing/

Stop making sense...you are making them have to think, and get confused. Just go along w/ the media programming

FLA is the most successful state in the USA for the last 70 years...more growth, more freedom, less taxes, most attractive state others want to move to...Florida's been winning for 70 years.

Today, FLA's prep schools are at the mid point of the 50 states, and its higher learning ranks #1. Combined, FLA's in the top 10.

Underachievers always want to attack the achievers, to justify their own failure. That is why we see so many posts attacking Florida.

Florida is the #1 state in America when all things are considered. That is why people flock here, and 130M/yr visit. Sorry your state lags behind.

The envy is everywhere here.

Can we knock it off on the culture wars and focus on actually teaching students? Seems like recent years have rolled back all the advances of the Bush and Crist years.
It the activist teachers would stop teaching social justice, maybe we could focus on education. I am not optimistic given what I am seeing.
