Let's take a look at the data: "Texas earns C-minus, ranks 39th in nation on education ranking" * 52 percent of 3- and 4-year-olds in the state are not in school. * Hispanics had the lowest rate of 4-year-olds enrolled in preschool at 39 percent. Meanwhile about half of black, white and Asian 4-year-olds were enrolled. * 64 percent of of 3- and 4-year-olds in households earning at least $100,000 or more attend preschool compared to 40 percent of those living in households earning less than $20,000. * About 44 percent of those enrolled in Texas preschool attended a private school. http://educationblog.dallasnews.com/2015/01/texas-earns-c-mi... |

California ranked 42nd in the same report with a score of D+. [1]
I'm obviously not arguing that every school in Texas is good. There are some utterly terrible districts in that state.
I don't think anyone would that point.
But there are also some great schools. The existence of some (even many) bad schools shouldn't necessarily deter someone from moving to a community in Texas with good schools.
All of that applies equally to California—there are some horrible schools there too.
