More on R2T phase 2 results

As we continue to read through the pages (and pages) of reviewer comments on Washington’s Race to the Top (R2T), phase 2 application, here’s a look at each state’s scores as percent of points possible, and rank. Ranks in the top 10 in each category and overall are shaded gray, and there’s a trend among R2T phase 2 winners. Washington’s highest rank was 13th, which was in data systems category. Washington scored below average in every other category (only by a few points in the turning around low-performing schools category).

One pattern I’m noticing in the reviewers’ comments is while Washington clearly identified goals, there were not always clear plans on how to reach them.
