With a rate of about 5 and a half percent, the state is doing a bit better than the national average, but not as well as its neighbors in New England. Within the state, there is wide variation among school districts, ranging from 0 to 16%.
Education Commissioner Nicholas Donohue spoke with NHPR?s Jon Greenberg. Commissioner Donohue says the differences are largely due to the communities where schools are located.
