HARRISBURG — A new report ranks Pennsylvania 16th overall among 50 states in child health and well-being, up from 17th a year ago, as nationally more kids attended preschool but the percentage of children in single-parent households grew and more children grew up in poor communities.

The 25th Kids Count survey released Tuesday by The Annie E. Casey Foundation says Pennsylvania resumed improving after dropping three spots last year.

Education indicators in Pennsylvania are improving, with higher percentages of children attending preschool, fourth-graders proficient in reading and eighth-graders proficient in math.
