I missed this when it was first posted... As a victim of a couple years of Utah public schools (until my folks hauled my happy ass out of there and into private school), I can guarantee you Utah isn't a state where effective public education is taking place. The Mormon belief in large families is at the source of most of it--schools are WAY overcrowded and WAY underfunded.

I can't speak about DC's education system, but I have a hard time believing it could be as bad as Utah's.
