Reply to comment by engineeringsquirrel in Republican congressman calls D.C. schools ‘crappy,’ ‘inmate factories’ by Ok_Culture_3621

But this is just measuring the education level of the population as a whole not the schools. I assume the smart people leave that backwards state. Doesn't really reflect on the quality of schools though. For example DC has one of the highest education rates in the US but our schools are a dumpster 🔥.

DC public schools ranked 49th in a recent nationwide ranking. How many of DC's more highly educated residents are transplants?

Can confirm as someone born and raised in Alabama. If smart Alabamians do stay, they live in Huntsville. Sometimes Bham, but I’d say Huntsville beats them out.
