State by State

All children have a basic right to a great public school. NEA's vision of what great public schools need and should provide acknowledges that the world is changing and public education is changing too. Meeting Great Public Schools criteria requires not only the continued commitment of all educators, but the concerted efforts of policymakers at all levels of government. We believe these criteria will close achievement gaps and raise achievement for all students. Click below to see what progress each state is making.
