Your argument falls apart quickly when you look at the facts.

All state measurements in the listing noted use averages. So
it is an apples-apples comparison.

ESL is also not a factor since the lowest states on the list
are not ESL states. Are the people in Maine speaking French-
Canadian and that is why they are so low? Is South Carolina
now considered a border state? Why are Arizona and New Mexico
so much higher than California? They have large ESL/Spanish
populations.

No, there is no ESL correlation. You are trying to dance
around the facts.

California education is in the lower 1/3 of the country.
