When it comes to public school test performance, the North trumps the South.

We compiled exam data for every public school across America, focusing on four tests: the SAT, ACT, AP exams, and NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress). The first three are taken by high schoolers; the last test is taken by elementary and middle schoolers.

We then aggregated the scores to the state level, assigning a single score out of 100. Here’s what we found:
New Hampshire (100) nabs the top spot, with consistently high performance across all four tests. Massachusetts (99) and Minnesota (98) aren’t far behind.

On the other end of the educational spectrum are Mississippi (59), Arkansas (60), Louisiana (60), and Alabama (60).
