Claim: In West Virginia, "our students enter in at fourth grade the first time they're tested, 37th or 38th in the nation—which is not good, but it's not horrible. By the time they're in the 8th grade, they're 46th or 47th, and then upon 11th grade testing they're near last."
Fact-check: Have W.Va. test scores tended to drop after 4th grade?
