6% tuition increase proposed for Cal State schools
Tuition may be on the rise.
LOS ANGELES - When it comes to education, California is apparently home to several cities that ranked on opposite ends of a study that named the least educated and most educated cities in the U.S.
Many of the least educated cities in America are in California, according to a recent analysis by WalletHub.
The financial website compared the 150 largest U.S. metros across 11 metrics, including the share of adults with a high school, college or graduate degree, and average quality of public schools and universities. 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.
These are the California cities that made the top 15:
- Visalia (#1)
- Bakersfield (#4)
- Modesto (#5)
- Stockton (#6)
- Salinas (#10)
- Fresno (#11)
- Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario (#14)
On the opposite end, Ann Arbor, Michigan was named the most educated city in America.
Two Bay Area metro regions ranked among the top 5.
