Other high-performing states were Minnesota, Vermont, New Hampshire and New Jersey. The area with the lowest marks in both grades was the District of Columbia, though the report showed that the district — along with Nevada, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont — had improved its scores since the last tests were taken in 2007.
