More Iowa high school students go on to college than oublic school graduates in other states. Iowa also has the best graduation rate of any state in the country. But does that mean we have the best schools?
During this hour of River to River, we hear how Iowa's schools compare nationally in terms of funding, test scores and graduation rate, and talk about how the Iowa Department of Education measures the success of schools statewide.
Guests for this hour include:
- Peggy Carr, National Center for Education Statistics Associate Commissioner

- Art Tate, Superintendent of Davenport Schools
- Mike Beranek, President of the Iowa State Education Association
