Over 95% of schools in top states like Arkansas and Delaware teach CS, while others, including California, Florida, and Arizona, remain below 50% in 2023\. With the rise of AI and increased government initiatives in 2025, about [60% of US public high schools](https://www.eschoolnews.com/steam/2024/11/26/computer-science-education-more-investment-access-gaps/?ref=newsletters.qs.com) offered foundational computer science (CS) courses, a major rise driven by state mandates and investment. Despite policy momentum, inequities persist due to [teacher shortages](https://www.highlandernews.org/88725/computer-science-teacher-shortage-puts-california-near-the-bottom-of-u-s-instruction-rankings/?ref=newsletters.qs.com), resource gaps, and limited access in rural and high-poverty schools.
