ALABAMA (WRBL) — A study ranking each state by education levels has put Alabama in the bottom five.
WalletHub compared all 50 states using 18 different indicators of a well-educated population including educational attainment, school quality and achievement gaps between genders and races.
Alabama ranked in at #45 with an overall score of 35.62. The quality of education ranks in at 36 and the educational attainment score sits at 44.
A separate study by WalletHub from 2023 took a look at the most and least educated cities. On that list, Montgomery came in at #104 while Birmingham-Hoover ranked at #82.
Over in the Peach State, Georgia had some slightly higher rankings with the state coming in at #30. Here's how the different cities ranked:
