Not all states are equal when it comes to education.
At least, that’s according to a new report from WalletHub, which found the most and least educated states in the U.S. in 2022.
For its report, WalletHub compared all 50 U.S. states based on 18 measurements such as share of adults aged 25 and older with at least a high school diploma, quality of school system, blue ribbon schools per capita, public high school graduation rate and NAEP Math & Reading test scores.

For example, the personal finance website found that Montana has the highest percentage of high school diploma holders, while California has the lowest percentage.
Colorado had the highest percentage of associate’s degree holders or college-experienced adults, while Massachusetts had the highest percentage of bachelor’s degree holders.
