Massachusetts Is The Most Educated State In America, Report Finds


BOSTON (CBS) – A new WalletHub analysis of the most and least educated states in America finds Massachusetts at the head of the class.

The personal finance website looked at educational attainment, school quality and achievement gaps between genders and races when making their list. The Bay State had the highest percentage of bachelor’s degree holders, the highest percentage of graduate or professional degree holders, and was behind only California in highest average university quality.

Massachusetts also did well in graduation rates, math and reading test scores, advanced placement exams and public school system quality, according to WalletHub.

Rounding out the top 5 were Maryland, Vermont, Connecticut and Colorado. The least educated states, WalletHub says, are Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, West Virginia and Mississippi at the bottom.

Massachusetts also topped WalletHub’s list in 2017 and 2018.

Yet the average Black Bostonian only has an average net worth of 8 dollars. Something is not adding up.

It’s not really surprising when you have schools like Harvard and MIT in your state.

Why?

I know the south always looks terrible on the education list but what’s more noticeable to me is that they are mostly red states. You won’t hear FOX news questioning this yet they always have California or blue states in their mouth.

Why?

more so just a reflection on my ignorance of that state

Never got the idea but I know Nevada, New Mexico and Arizona always stood out as places that seem like education is not a priority.
