Minnesota’s Impressive Ranking
In a nationwide survey conducted by online education platform Guru99, Minnesota nabbed the bronze medal, coming in just behind Montana and New Hampshire.

Plus, only a teeny-tiny 5.8% of Minnesotans don’t have a high school diploma or GED. And when it comes to SAT scores, Minnesota students are knocking it out of the park with an average of 1225 – one of the highest in the country!
