The smartest state is Vermont. The dumbest is Arizona. These are the 2006-2007 findings of the Education State Rankings, a survey by Morgan Quitno Press of hundreds of public school systems in all 50 states. States were graded on 21 factors, including student achievement and attendance, positive outcomes, strong student-teacher relationships and school district efficiency. The 2006 award measures states based on factors including expenditures for instruction, pupil-teacher ratios, high school graduation and dropout rates, and reading, writing and math proficiency.
Rounding out the top five states with Vermont are Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey and Maine. They're doing something right in New England with four states from this region dominating the top five slots this year. The losers are Arizona in last place, preceded by Nevada, Mississippi, California and Alaska. How does YOUR state rank? 1. Vermont 2. Massachusetts 3. Connecticut 4. New Jersey 5. Maine 6. Virginia 7. Montana 8. Wisconsin 9. Iowa 10. Pennsylvania 11. Nebraska 12. New Hampshire 13. Minnesota 14. Rhode Island 15. Kansas 16. New York 17. South Dakota 18. Maryland 19. Wyoming 20. Idaho 21. North Dakota 22. Missouri 23. North Carolina 24. Indiana 25. Texas 26. South Carolina 27. Colorado 28. Delaware 29. Florida 30. Tennessee 31. Kentucky 32. Arkansas 33. Washington 34. Ohio 35. Illinois 36. Oklahoma 37. West Virginia 38. Utah 39. Michigan 40. Oregon 41. Georgia 42. Hawaii 43. New Mexico 44. Louisiana 45. Alabama 46. Alaska 47. California 48. Mississippi 49. Nevada 50. Arizona Northeast owns. -------------------- Note to new members. Discussions such as the ones below are forbidden.
