You really are one who should not chastise another poster of not looking at objective evidence. If you take a look at the results of SAT scores showing participation rates you will see that Florida had 90% of students take the test while some states had as few as 1%.

No doubt some small states like Connecticut and Colorado fared a little better because they have a smaller population and higher income. Florida did comparatively well compared to states that had similar participation rates. And if you consider how many immigrants and non English speaking students we have, I think FL does an excellent job.
I am very proud of my adopted state. You should be too.
