We are the only country in the world that tests ALL of our kids. So it makes perfect sense to compare our kids to theirs by income level.

Overall, when we look at all of our scores, we are in the middle of the list. Not #37.

I'd love to stop using PISA. But they are the most referenced scores used to demonize our schools. Perhaps this disaggregated data will help us fight back against the misinformation.
