39th Place – Texas
Despite ranking 15th in terms of quality of education, Texas barely made it out of the bottom ten when it comes to the most educated states. The issue is that while the state’s education system might be of high quality, many of its citizens don’t have access to it.
This may be due to the fact that only 40% of children are raised in households where at least one parent holds a college degree, significantly lower than the national average.
