Student Achievement and Collective Bargaining Correlated

The five states without collective bargaining for teachers do have four of the five lowest ranks for educational outcomes and the other state, Virginia, is 44th. Here is a link to ACT/SAT scores which is one of the few comparisons that is standard for all states. Allow this statistic obviously does not prove causation it does show a strong correlation between the two.
