The yellow pages under education. You can also go on yahoo-education-k thru 12-private or something close to that and it will have a list.

http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/index.html\n\nis a fun site, sorry I dont know the developed nation worldwide figures, but this will give you a good idea if you look at some of the key nations.  Without searching through it myself, I would guess the literacy rate to be around 95%, give or take.\n\nedit: the US currently has 99% literacy\n2nd edit: though you wouldnt believe it if you spent enough time reading some of the questions/answers on Yahoo Answers.

Not really - I think that America's children are just as smart as any other country's.  However, it seems to me that America does not emphasize education for children as much as other countries do; so therefore, the intelligence as the youth grows up in America is lacking and behind those of other countries.  THAT's the key right there - if we, the people of the USA, concentrated on our children's education as much as we pay attention to the sports, the welfare of 3rd world countries, the next big movie, the latest American Idol, etc., etc. then I would daresay that our education would match any of the world powers.  Intelligence really cannot be quantified as such.  Knowledge, however, can be!

It seems like they would've taught you that in college.\nBut, you can just see what your state/areas requirements are for the level your teaching and do that.

I found two sites that might help you.  The first is a national comparison, done by the NEA.  The second one will help you compare standards between states and is a little easier to navigate.\n\nhttp://www.nea.org/edstats/images/05rankings.pdf#search='national%20education%20rankings'\n\nhttp://www.schoolmatters.com/App/SES/SPSServlet/StaticMenuRequest?MenuType=comparing_across_states.shtml&MenuLevel=1&Site=pes&StateCompare=0&StateID=1036196&Sel=1036195&LocationID=1036195&StateLocLevelID=676&LocLevelID=162

Maybe the Department of Education website for your state has info.

I think you can get the best possible education in America, but I think that is more of an exception than the rule. I taught in public schools in the US before I left to teach abroad. It was pretty frightening how badly educated the students were. They came to me in grade 9 reading and writing on a 3rd grade level, and many of them were 16 or 17 already by then. \n\nMy education was quite good, but I went to a girls' Catholic school. It was small, so teachers could give us more individual attention, and our parents held us to high standards. I think that is the biggest difference.

I travel quite a bit to Western and Eastern Europe, Russia, as well as the Middle-East and are very familiar with their educational systems.  Many of my friends are also foreigners who studied over-seas and part of my own education was overseas as well.\n\nPrimary schooling in the US between k-12 does not match European standards in levels of Mathematics, Science, and Foreign Languages.  The level of education in the US is different based on where you live.  Certain cities, counties, and school districts tend to spend a great deal more money than others and can afford better instructional environment for students.  Since education is provided for by the State and not the federal government there is not a lot of standardization throughout the US nor even within a State in some cases.  For example in California you can go to an inner-city school in Los Angeles and receive an education that is inferior to one you would receive in a suburb of San Diego an hour away.  There are, however, schools and school districts that are consistently outperforming others and that information could be found on the internet.\n\nThat said, you should know that American universities are among the best in the world. Schools such as Harvard, Princeton, Yale, MIT, Stanford, etc. are unmatched in the quality of education they impart and have in fact educated many of the world's so-called experts.\n\nI hope that answers your question.  Best wishes.

None of the above. The problem that confronts American Education is the lack of people who are running our Education system at the top level.  I am an educator but refuse to go into the school system of today because of the hyprocracy that it represents. Our American Education system has started slipping about 30 years ago and is, maybe to your surprise, behind that of China, India and elsewhere. American schools have gotten away from the basics of the three Rs.

Today's Question:\n\n    Where can I found out how many colleges and universities there are in each state? \n\n\n\nThe Answer:\n\n    Try visiting the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) web site.\nhttp://nces.ed.gov/\n\n    But not yet, we're going to answer your question first.\n\n    According to NCES data from 1997-98, there were 4,064 degree-granting institutions in the United States.\n\n    California was home to 396, more than any other U.S. state. In second was New York (319), followed by Pennsylvania (253), Texas (194) and Illinois (172).\n\n    But if you want us to break it down by public and private four-year institutions, here are what the lists would look like.\n\n    Private four-year institutions (1,694 total): 1.California (182); 2.New York (170), 3.Pennsylvania (101), 4.Illinois (94), 5.Massachusetts (83).\n\n    Public four-year institutions (615 total): 1.Pennsylvania (45), 2.New York (42), 3.Texas (41), 4.California (32), 5. Ohio (27).\n    For more information, check out our table of Accredited U.S. Senior Colleges and Universities.
