State Education Systems
State education systems are organized frameworks established by individual U.S. states to provide public education to students. Each state has its own set of laws, regulations, and standards that govern the curriculum, funding, and administration of schools. These systems typically include elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as special education programs.
Funding for state education systems primarily comes from state and local taxes, with additional support from the federal government. Each state is responsible for ensuring that students meet certain academic benchmarks, often assessed through standardized tests. This structure aims to provide equitable access to quality education for all students within the state.
