Public schools in the Commonwealth ranked first in both math test scores and reading test scores. Massachusetts was also tied for the top spot in median ACT scores as well. And, Massachusetts was number 1 for the lowest percentage of students that were threatened or were prone to injury.

Bay State educators were ranked as having the highest average salary across all states at $82,349 a year. In the study, WalletHub had this to say:

Some researchers have found that more resources — or taxes paid by residents — typically result in better school-system performance.

Massachusetts was not the only New England state to rank high in the study. Connecticut came in at #2, with New Hampshire closely behind at #5. Vermont also performed well, placing at the #10 spot, with Rhode Island right behind it, at #11. Maine also did well, coming in at #13.

And, in case you were interested, New Mexico has the dishonor of coming in dead last. New Mexico, according to the study, has reportedly the worst school system in America.
