8th Grade Reading 4th Grade Reading

So I am not seeing much good news for CA in these stats. Its a bit frightening, in fact.
One of the great selling points for "high-tax, high-service" government would be that you could leave a lot of the burdens of life on auto-pilot. National healthcare means you are covered from a major life worry. Bank insurance means you don't have to shop for a bank that's safe. Excellent schools means you don't have to endlessly research schooling options.
When it fails it means you have the worst of both worlds: high taxes (plus entrenched, unionized bureaucracies!) with poor outcomes that make the average taxpayer again be in charge of their life - searching for private schools, charter schools, or conniving to get their kid into the one or two decent schools in the district. Or simply moving to another state.
