HIGHLIGHTS

International School Finance
Public interest has put significant focus on how the United States education system compares with those around the world. This ECS StateNote uses data collected and published by the Organization of Economic Co-Operation and Development and the United National Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to show how America's school funding system compares with other developed countries' systems from around the world.

International Benchmarking Toolkit
Access ECS' unique resource for state policymakers, school district officials, principals and teachers looking to raise the bar in America's classrooms. The toolkit responds to growing concerns that U.S. students may lack workforce competitiveness and are lagging behind those from high-performing counties.

Information provided by ECS combines the best of the most recent and useful research available. Should you have questions, please contact our Information Clearinghouse at 303.299.3675.
