To help determine who is really the smartest, SafeHome.org today released a study ranking the Smartest and Dumbest States in America using the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. Department of Education, the College Board and ACT. The rankings were determined by analyzing several categories in each state, including bachelor\u2019s degrees, professional degrees and college prep test scores. Here are the findings in Kentucky: Adults 25+ with bachelor\u2019s degrees: 14% Public high school graduation rate (2016-17): 90%, No. 3 in U.S. Median SAT score (2018-19): 1,232 Average composite ACT score (2017-18): 20.2 \u00a0Here are the 10 Smartest States in America: New Jersey, Utah, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Montana, Virginia, Kansas, Wisconsin, Oregon and Minnesota.
