I was happy to read this story:
Researchers have ranked states by intelligence and Vermont tops the list!
The ratings are based on 21 elementary and secondary education indicators, ranging from graduation rates and test scores to teacher pay and class size. Vermont is followed by Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
Arizona is found at the bottom.
Of course with any state ranking, you may wonder where states you live in or hold dear rank.
The TN/VA areas made good strides this year! VA is just outside the top 5 at 6th...while TN jumped by leaps and bound going from 41st to 30th!!!
And since I know many, many teachers (I even married one,) I fully expect Tennessee's ranking to only get better ;)
