Default Most, Least Educated States in America

https://www.newser.com/story/302607/...ss_world_login

Schooling has been upended during the coronavirus pandemic, but education remains paramount for future opportunities, so WalletHub took a look to see which states offer the best chance at becoming an egghead. The site examined all 50 states across 18 metrics in two main categories: educational attainment, which includes the share of adults who've attained high school diplomas or college degrees; and quality of education and attainment gap, which factors in everything from blue-ribbon schools per capita and the average quality of each state's universities, to high school graduation rates. Read on for the top and bottom 10 states:

Most Educated
Massachusetts
Maryland
Connecticut
Vermont
Colorado
Virginia
New Jersey
New Hampshire
Minnesota
Washington

Least Educated
New Mexico
South Carolina
Nevada
Oklahoma
Kentucky
Alabama
Arkansas
Louisiana
Mississippi
West Virginia

See how your state ranks:

Not at all surprised that Texas came in so low. As long as they continue to be more worried about high school football and less worried about Jethro passing his math test, we're screwed.

Same here.
They actually drop the passing curriculum scores because the majority cannot pass, there's nobody at home to help them with homework, no learning at home, etc...

We have an un-educated youngsters, but winning school/college teams.

Usually doesn't take long to figure out who will do well in school, aka has a parent or two that gives 2 shits and helps the kid.

However the classes only move as fast as weakest students now amd never are allowed to be ahead of schedule.

Anyone my age or older knows that most jocks could barely read and write even in HS. I made good money doing their homework so I know. I used to write with left hand so looked like their chicken scratch even. Our qb was at about 3rd grade reading and writing level and was my neighbor. But hey he was good at spurts ya know so why need to read,

I find it hard to believe all those liberal shit holes are the most educated. Now, if we go with most indoctrinated, then I'll agree.
