A new report from UCLA says California public schools don't measure up against schools in other states.
California students are among the nation's worst academic achievers, and those in the Los Angeles Unified School District are faring even worse than the statewide average, according to a UCLA study released Thursday.
California schools generally due worse in relationship to schools across the nation," says UCLA Professor John Rogers.
He says the state spends about 10% less per student than the national average.
