The only states that were deemed more educated than Colorado are Vermont which came in at number three, Maryland which was named the second-most educated, and Massachusetts which has been named the most educated state in the nation in 2025.

Connecticut rounds out the top five, making Colorado the only state near the top of the list that is not located on the east coast of the country.

The least educated state in the nation is West Virginia, followed by Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.
