Washington ranks higher than last year on most educated states list
In just a year, Washington jumped up a few spots in a list of the most educated states in the country, according to an annual study from WalletHub.
The Evergreen State moved from the 10th position into a firm seventh place spot for 2020, thanks in part to its high percentage of residents with some secondary education experience -- Washington ranked third in that category.
The study compared 17 other metrics across two categories -- which were labeled "educational attainment" and "quality of education" -- including quality of universities in the state, high school graduation rate, test scores, engagement of students and the share of adults with different degrees.
The study unfortunately didn't break down the quality of universities within the state, so the jury's out on which school takes that nod -- this author is a bit partial to Western Washington University.
