Lol wut?

I lived in Austin last year and I've never seen schools that compare. Those high schools are better than most major universities I've seen in Louisiana.

I've lived in NC, CA, went to college in CT, and lived briefly in MA and none of those school systems compare to schools in the Austin area.

Check every major school ranking website. Texas is always in the 20s, high 20s in a lot of cases. Sorry to bust your bubble, but it's not ranked that way. They might have some very good schools, but so do these states.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this in two pages...

Louisiana has some of the worst infrastructure in the country. Roads, bridges, water main, sewers, storm drainage, telecommunications, etc. With such a decayed infrastructure, it makes financial investment in Louisiana unappealing. Corruption, like with education, has a huge impact.

Um...what?

Massachusetts is consistently ranked in the top 5 nationally. And comparing a state to a city makes no sense.
