Public government-run schools nationwide are failing to properly educate students….
But today’s headlines are about pay and benefit increases, class size and teacher strikes.
New Census Bureau data released last month revealed a shocking reality…
California – the most populous state in the nation – has the least educated K-12 students.
Two statistics tell the story:
- California has the highest percentage of residents 25 and older who never finished 9th grade.
- California has the lowest high school graduation rate of all 50 states.
Here are some other statistics from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey covering the 5-year period from 2013 to 2017:
- Wyoming has the lowest percentage of residents 25 and older who never completed 9th grade.
- Massachusetts has the highest percentage nationwide of residents 25 and older who have completed at least a bachelor’s degree.
- West Virginia has the lowest percentage of residents 25 and older who have completed at least a bachelor’s degree.
Sadly, California’s public school system was ranked as the nation’s best in the 1950s and 1960s – before federal, state and local bureaucracies, teachers’ unions, and mandates like Common Core destroyed educational excellence.
Now, California’s public schools are the worst in the nation – seemingly dedicated to equalized mediocrity for all.
The 2,510,370 California residents 25 and older who never completed 9th grade exceed the entire population of 15 other states.
This is one of the reasons California families are fleeing the state: to give their children a better chance at a quality education.
High state income taxes – with nothing to show for them for the middle class – is another reason.

If you live in California, please sign our petition to pass SB 1530, making classrooms safer by making it easier to fire teachers who prey on students.

Thank you for the information. It’s inconceivable that the public is so ignorant and/or progressively biased. I’m a hyper conservative aerospace consulting engineer who lives on the corner of Audrey Ave & 234th St. I’m an old geezer of 85(still consulting), and truly depressed at the low probability that the republic will survive. In truth, there’s only approximately 3 or 4 individuals on my block that I can have an intelligent conversation with. Again, thanks for your dedication!!
The alt-Left Progressives who push the socialism agenda are funded by heavy money; that is a known fact. We know that George Soros has public stated he intends to destroy the USA as his greatest accomplishment of his life, and we know he funds the alt-Left and Obama’s OFA (Organizing For Action) which intends to assist Soros in his goal. We know that California is undermined by the Progressives and even by those in Hollywood who produce movies that glorify violence and rebellion while vilifying Christianity, morality, and individual self-determination in the merit-based ideology of America. Massive forces are at work to destroy California and this country, and it is really not that difficult to figure out what is going on. Patriots of America, whatever Party you are in, must act to keep our country safe. Complacency and acquiescence to complacency is the enemy of freedom and liberty in this instance. We’re running out of time to save our country.
Thank you for the truth to be able to fight back. Lorraine Vandyke
