D.C. students' test scores no longer worst in country

D.C. Public Schools are no longer the worst in the nation, according to standardized test scores released Tuesday comparing large urban districts.

But the reality remains grim. Fourth-graders rank fourth from the bottom, ahead of Cleveland, Detroit and Fresno, Calif., on the math portion of the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Eighth-graders ranked ahead only of their peers in Detroit.
