Right but that's life and TX has a similar participation rate. The 4-year college graduation rate for the United States is only around 30% so it's not like California is especially low-on the contrary.
Not quite sure why youre trying to downplay this? Average SAT Score
California 1504
New York 1468
Florida 1448
Texas 1432
Why does CA have the highest poverty rate in the nation at 24% if the population is so well-educated?
Oh and OP, How many universities from your state are ranked in the top 20 in the world?

Why are you changing the subject?
You and others seem to be so blinded by stereotypes that you cant fathom facts when they are presented to you.
Oh and I never said CA is so well educated, only that this image of CA being so far behind the national average is totally false.
The nation as a whole has a 30% college graduation rate, and CA has the highest average SAT score among the 4 largest states. Average Raw SAT Score

And yet you continue to ignore the fact California is ranked 42nd in the country for education. So either you think you're right and the stats are wrong or your claims above show a massive educational inequality situation with California, something else which is not good. Either way you look at it, there's a problem with education in the state of California. But by all means, call it partisan, call it whatever you want but it still doesn't change the fact the state is 42nd in the country in education.

California has the lowest participation rate of the four states, which obviously skews the results (per your own link). Can you explain why so few California students participate in taking SATs?

Yeah? And how different are their participation rates?
Lol, I see what you're doing and I'm going to call the BS right now.
Looking at the link your article is citing (Quality Counts 2017: State Report Cards Map - Education Week), you somehow specifically mention WY as a state that does well, while ignoring the fact that the rest of the states that scored well are either solidly blue or purple.
MA B 86.5 - Blue
NJ B 85.6 - Blue
VT B 83.8 - Blue
NH B 83.4 - Blue
MD B 82.8 - Blue
CT B 82.7 - Blue
WY B- 80.3 - Red
PA B- 80.2 - Purple
NY B- 79.8 - Blue
I know facts are inconvenient for you and your fuhrer, but they matter to most people in this country.
And yes, Wyoming does have a disproportionate weight in the EC. It's designed to do so, how else would the young United States have ensured the slave holding states with relatively few white males would not be railroaded in the Presidential elections?
Nice try sneaking that bit in there too... LOL
The top 5 all have Republican governors.... So what does that tell us?
This possibly explains the cry for popular vote presidential elections coming out of California, and, of course, the landslide popular vote for Mrs Clinton. There is a hot link in the article for those wanting to throw dirt at other state's voters. Wyoming, frequently and incorrectly cited as having a disproportionate weight in the Electoral College, is among the top states according to this report. Hmmm?
