Prospective State Finalists for Race to the Top Grants

The U.S. Department of Education this coming week is expected to announce which states are finalists for the first round of federal Race to the Top grants.

Tom Carroll of the New York Foundation for Education Reform & Accountability reviewed each of the 40 state applications and predicts what he believes will be seven states likely to get awards. Hint: New York is not among them.

Mr. Carroll's analysis was published in the City Journal here.
