How good is Texas’ educational system?

I have heard that their system performs poorly and is ranked 43rd in national graduation rate (which is true).

The issue no one seems to bring up is that Texas has a massive Hispanic population, greater than their non-Hispanic white population. Areas that have poorly performing schools generally have larger aggregations of blacks and Hispanics, few areas break this generalization.

I figured to thus ignore those two groups as they statistically weigh on performance metrics. Then, I figured to look at the highest performing group statistically, Asians (they also test substantially better than other groups). The national high school graduation rates for Asians is approximately 96%.

Apparently, in Texas its only 83%. That 1300 basis point difference strikes me as being significant. I was not schooled in Texas but how is it and would Rick Perry be a good candidate (excoriating other variables) on merely an education front to grow America’s human capital (arguably the most important form of capital > than pecuniary capital).

Texas has approximately 26% of adults with college degrees, but there are a few factors to consider here. It is not clear how many of those people were Texas produced (which is more important). Human capital is extremely mobile and many people get degrees outside of their state and aggregate in state that has a better presence of their fields. Texas has a major oil industry attracting many petroleum/civil and other forms of engineers including businesses magnates. This leads to attracting wealth managers. Texas also more F500 firms than other states due to its no income tax policy which leads them to bringing in skilled employees. Texas also has a large military presence attracting including many programs that train specifically officers (which require degrees). Thus, I am not sure this is representative of Texas‘ educational system.

I’m curious as to where Texas or any other state for that matter would be if they were not able to attract talent from elsewhere.
Ziggy, you missed the point.

Texas due to its regulatory and tax policy attracts companies. Those companies attract skilled workers. Does not mean they were educated there.

What the heck, does it mean there are only “four real states”?

Which is the best school in the world to study engineering of petroleum and/or gas (oil engineering)?

how is the job outlook for petroleum engineering in canada?

Good Universities for 30k$/year in US/Canada?

Well, I’m Egyptian and I was thinking of studying abroad. My parents said I could study abroad should the University I’m going to, as well as living expenses (dorms), books and general money come around to around 30,000$ a year. My interests are the engineering programs, more specifically Petroleum, Chemical, Civil and Computer Science, and pre-med. I’m not familiar with Universities within the US and Canada, so I really need help researching universities, but please, before posting names, be at least kind of sure that they meet the qualifications. Thank you in advance

Chances of getting in: transfer from Auburn University to UT Austin.?
