World Population Review recently ranked the best states for education in 2022 and Alabama was so far down the list I thought there was a typo.

As I scrolled and thought they must've left Alabama off the list entirely, I noticed I was very wrong.

According to World Population View, the state of Alabama has the 4th worst education system in America.

Alabama's Least Educated City

The Wallet Hub study has the least educated city in Alabama listed as Mobile, Alabama.

Out of the 150 cities listed, Mobile was listed as city number 132.

Other cities that made the list include Montgomery, Birmingham, and Huntsville. find out where those cities were listed by clicking here to see the full results of the study.

Top 10 Best and Worst Public Schools in Tuscaloosa County

The rankings for this gallery were based on the 2018- 2019 Alabama Department of Education School Report Cards for the Tuscaloosa City School District and the Tuscaloosa County School District. This data was used because many categories in the report card for 2019-2020 was waived due to the pandemic. In the event of a tie, the schools with the same overall score were ranked by academic achievement scores. In all other cases of a tie, the schools were listed alphabetically.
