HOUSTON - Everyone knows the value of quality education, and sadly some parts of the country are lacking in that.
SUGGESTED: 4-day school week gains popularity as more districts adopt model
A recent study by WalletHub looked at 150 of the largest metropolitan areas to examine the most and least educated cities in the U.S. The data researchers examined ranged from adults 25 and older with a bachelor's degree or higher, as well as the racial education gap and the quality of public schools.
The findings were sobering, to say the least, where four Texas cities made the top 10 for least educated.
Only one Texas metropolitan area, Austin-Round Rock-Georgetown, made the top 10 most educated, coming in 10th.
