This system, called Quality Counts, uses official data on performance from each state to generate report cards for all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The report card in uses six different categories:. Each of these six categories had a number of other elements that received individual scores.
Those scores were then averaged and used to determine the final score in each category. Every state received two types of scores for each of the six major categories: A numerical score out of and a letter grade based on that score.
Education Week used the score for the first category, "chance for success," as the value for ranking each state and the District of Columbia.

The Georgia Special Needs Scholarship Program allows parents of students with disabilities, who are dissatisfied with their assigned schools, to attend private school through a voucher system. The Foundation found that the program was well-funded, giving students vouchers worth up to their funding cost in public schools, but suggested growth in the eligibility of students.
The Foundation found that the tax credit program had the opportunity to be one of the most expansive and successful programs in the country, as its only requirement for a student to be eligible is to attend public school for at least six weeks.
However, the Foundation found that the funding cap for the program allowed less than one percent of students to receive scholarships.
