17th Place – Delaware
This section of the list focuses on the most educated states in the United States. Ranking seventeenth is Delaware, which should be proud to be part of the top twenty. However, recent research indicates that its place may be uncertain.
Delaware devotes a significantly smaller portion of its budget to education than the average across the U.S., with just 2.7 percent of its taxable resources allocated to its school system – one of the lowest figures among states, which typically allocate 3.3 percent.
