Well, actually they say Raleigh-Durham and of course there is no such place and grouping them together annoys me to no end but that's another thread. See where your city ranks.

i got the impression that it was some sort of quiz online that was taken for them to get their results, so i took it all with a grain of salt

i mean, clearly it isn't correct. a city in NC is ranked #1. It's totally shenanigans. They're basing their facts off of how many people receive educations based off population, pretty much. Doesn't make them smart. The more college 4 year grads it has, the higher score it gets. Not to mention, they obviously didn't take into account that we've got people like catnip and simontibbett living in our state, which puts us in dead last. they're stupid for a whole continent.

Washington D.C. at number 7? I highly doubt that. They have had a consistent problem with D.C. schools having high failure rates and enrollment declines. The D.C. public school system just laid off more than 200 teachers and they are still on court oversight.

Edit:

Oh yes, I forgot to mention all the morons in Congress, which further proves my point.

That's just sad. I always thought blue states had better public education systems.
