Louisiana ranks fourth in the nation for its support of education freedom. The state saw the most significant jump in the country on the Education Freedom Report Card, produced annually by the Heritage Foundation.
The report card evaluates states based on numerous education criteria, ranking them on their support for education freedom. Categories include education choice, teacher freedom, academic transparency, and the return on investment for education spending.
“Expanding education freedom is a priority in Louisiana, and I’m glad to see our progress recognized nationally” said Louisiana State Superintendent of Education Dr. Cade Brumley. “I want to thank Governor Landry, the legislature, and BESE for their shared commitment to provide all families with quality school choice options.”
