Statistics on Education in Micronesia
Francis X. Hezel, SJ	MicSem Articles | education

The following lists of ranked schools are based on test results for as many years past as are available, using as many standardized tests as are given. When consulting these statistics, be cautious about equating test scores with the quality of a school. They are indicators of quality, but they are not the only indicators. For further explanation of these statistics, consult the article they were based upon, "How Good Are Our Schools?".
