Last year, the state spent $3,800 per student, 39th among the 50 states.

However, more recent 2009-2010 data no longer show Florida among the top four states.

No longer: it is now among the bottom 20 states.

Florida did not even rank among the top 20 states until 1950.

There are significant differences in average age at first birth among the states.

Wisconsin, on the other hand, is considered a model among larger states.

But it should not be extended to relations among states.

In a 24-year cycle, every state would have a chance to be among the first primary states.

The figure for California was still higher at 9.5 percent, the highest among the 11 major industrial states.

In spending per student, by 1992 it had fallen to 36th among the states.
