The NCES site, National Center for Education Statistics, is a site dedicated to collecting and analyzing educational data. The statistics used from this site for National comparison were Math, 8th Grade and Gender. In comparison to other states, WV scores higher than Alabama, Mississippi, California, and Louisiana. The District of Columbia has the lowest score, and 45 states score higher than WV with Massachusetts scoring the highest. After completing the descriptive statistics, I've concluded WV's Scale Score of 273 is below the Mean Score of 283.
