The states with thriving educational systems are generally northern, predominately white, and with relatively few immigrants

If you want your children to get a good education then send them to schools in places such as the New England states, North Dakota, and Minnesota and avoid states with large black and/or Hispanic populations such as California, Mississippi, Alabama, Nevada and New Mexico. Together, almost 60% of California's school population is made up of Hispanics and African Americans - groups that generally have a much lower rate of student achievement than whites and Asians.
