State report cards
How US states compare on high-school opportunity: which states' public high schools offer advanced courses, and where students go without a counselor. Pick a measure to rank the states.
How to read this. Each bar is the share of a state's public high
schools reporting the selected measure to the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights
(or, for the counselor ratio, the state median students per full-time counselor). States and territories
with fewer than 20 high schools are omitted. Data is from the 2020-21 collection, a pandemic year;
course offerings are stable year to year, so this reflects real access differences. Source: U.S. Dept. of
