Stupidest State?
I have lived all over the U.S. and Arizona is not the state that I would have guessed to be the stupidest state.
According to the private research and publishing company’s new survey, when they were handing out smarts, Arizona (dead last for the second year in a row, no less) was hanging out with California, Mississippi and Nevada at the back of the line, Central Florida’s Local 6 reports.
Beg to differ?
The folks in Vermont probably don’t. The Green Mountain State was ranked the smartest of them all, followed by Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey and Maine.
The survey has Texas as the Lone Star of mediocrity at No. 25, New York making an appearance at No. 16 and Florida chilling with the other underachievers at No. 29.
The annual rankings are based on 21 elementary and secondary education indicators, ranging from test scores and graduation rates to class size and teacher’s salaries. MORE
