What NH Doesn't Know About Its Schools

A new study prepared by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center has found that a majority of state residents don?t know how well their schools are performing.

People across the state tend to think that their school?s perform above average and spend above average.

That's true even in low performing and low spending districts.

UNH conducted the survey on behalf of a partnership of organizations including New Hampshire Public Radio.

Doug Hall, with the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies, also a partner in the effort, described the findings to NHPR's Trish Anderton.
