This being the election season, Idaho education is getting a rap from many liberal quarters, including candidates and media.....But are the states colleges as mediocre as some claim? Not according this new measure, called a Social Mobility Index, which ranks schools by the value of the degreed students to move up the economic scale in life.....Measured that way, Idaho ranks #2 in the country, with such factors as tuition (relatively modest), economic backgrounds of students (again, not as many wealthy kids), and graduation rates, early career salaries and the schools endowments....We look pretty good by these measures.....UI ranked 21st in the country, out of almost 540 schools......See..... socialmobilityindex.org/
