Things like Dropout Rate were factored in.  And Wisconsin scored really well.  3rd lowest in the country!

Wisconsin schools also finished in the top 5 of Math test scores and SAT scores.  And nowhere did Wisconsin end up at the bottom of any other factors like reading test scores, ACT scores, Pupil-Teacher Ratio, and bullying.
