Sinopsis

A clear, data‑driven look at how state school systems measure up. This volume explains a new index number designed to summarize how public education across states has changed over time, using consistent, government‑ sourced data.

The book shows how ten key measures—such as daily attendance, days in session, high school participation, and per‑pupil expenditures—are combined into a single, comparable score. It uses historical examples from 1900 to 1918 to illustrate how improvements in conditions are reflected in the index, and it explains the logic behind weighting and normalization so readers can interpret state rankings with confidence.


  • How the index is constructed from ten educational and financial indicators

  • What changes in the data say about school system progress across states

  • How to interpret state rankings and shifts over time

  • Notes on data sources, methodology, and potential limitations



Ideal for readers of educational policy, history of education, or anyone seeking a structured way to compare state school systems over decades.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from An Index Number for State School Systems

During the past fifty years the United States Bureau of Education has published annual reports setting forth conditions in the public schools of each state in the Union. Each year it has gathered and made public the figures which measure certain of the larger and more important phases of the educational effort and attainment of the states. Included in these records are the figures which Show how many of the children are attending the public schools and for how many days during the year, what numbers of the children are in the higher schools, and what price in dollars the state is paying to purchase this education for them. These figures reflect the diffusion, the amount, and the quality of the education that the children are receiving.
