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.

I'm not arguing California is better; I'm arguing there are plenty of places to go that are better than Texas.
