The quality of Maryland's public schools has once again been placed at the top of national rankings by Education Week, the nation's leading education newspaper.

The newspaper put Maryland at the top of the list, with the nation's only B+ average.

The study looked at data in six critical categories over the last two years, including student performance, state accountability and teacher effectiveness.

New York and Massachusetts followed Maryland in the rankings with B grades. According to the report, most states received grades of C or less.

The state reached the top spot in 2009, as well.
