A new study shows that children's education in Georgia is behind much of the country. The study conducted by Maryland-based "Editorial Projects in Educational Research Center" shows that the State of Georgia ranks 38th in the nation.

With few exceptions, Southern states ranked on the lower end of the study. Virginia was ranked at the top of the list, and New Mexico was ranked last on the study's "Chance for Success" index. By combining 13 social, economic and educational measures, researchers created a picture of "educational trajectories," representing lives that rise or fall depending on where a child lives.

In a statement, State Superintendent of Schools Kathy Cox said she found good news in the study, which cited Georgia's education policies as being among the best in the nation.
