Sip Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 (edited) Quoted: The smartest state in the union for the second consecutive year is Massachusetts. The dumbest, for the third year in a row, is New Mexico. These are the 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 a variety of factors based on how they compare to the national average. These included such positive attributes as per-pupil expenditures, public high school graduation rates, average class size, student reading and math proficiency, and pupil-teacher ratios. States received negative points for high drop-out rates and physical violence.

ArmEngine Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 This is actually very poor rating of "smart" or "stupid" sate. California is 43 ... but it has very large immigrant population. They are mostly uneducated even armos 90% don’t have college education no matter what they say. Its truly sad supposedly their parents have these masters degrees kids are F*&*#$ retards 90% of the time. Well maybe I am in a stupid state lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
