Massachusetts is the smartest state in the nation
A new report has ranked the smartest states across the country, and Massachusetts came out on top.
Education researchers at UTS Online analyzed each of the 50 states across 10 main factors, including average IQ, high school graduation rates, college graduation rates, SAT & ACT scores, NAEP scores, literacy rates, numeracy rates, share of State Value Added for Arts and Culture Production (ACPSA), and the number of colleges per capita.
The Bay State ranked overall No. 1 with an intelligence score of 81.63
The report found it had the highest average IQ in the nation, at 104.3, plus its students achieved the highest score for both the SAT and ACT exams and came in second in NAEP.
Home to some of the most prestigious universities in the nation, including M.I.T. and Harvard, Massachusetts also had the highest college graduation rate in the country.
Additionally, the Bay State ranked fifth for ACPGA, 17th for 2024 high school graduation rates and 29th for number of colleges.
And it wasn’t the only New England state to make the top of the list.
New Hampshire came in second followed by Minnesota, Vermont and Washington state.
Peace be with you

Actually, #4.
The federal minimum wage goes from $5.15 to $5.85 per hour, on Tuesday.
Which doesn’t make much difference to us, here in Massachusetts.
Our minimum wage is set at $7.50, to rise to $8.00 on January 1, 2008.
How does this compare with other states? Pretty damn good (er, unless you’re a small business owner, I guess …).
Only three states have mandated higher minimum wages:
Connecticut: $7.65
Oregon: $7.80
Washington: $7.93
The lowest minimum wage in the 50 US states?
Kansas: $2.65
