El Paso Named One Of The Least Educated Cities

El Paso has been named one of the safest cities. one of the best to live in, one of the best to raise a family in and more. We've even got the nicest felons, c'mon now. El Paso rocks!

We've also been named to some really crappy lists and now MSN.com says we're one of the least educated cities. This list was made up based on what they refer to as "attainment" and "quality of education", meaning:

attainment (weighted at 80%) refers to how many people have at least a high school diploma, how many have at least a bachelor's degree, and on up the chain through graduate school. Quality of education (weighted at 20%) is a little more nuanced and takes in the public school rankings in that metro area, average number of universities, total enrollment, and the "attainment gap" (or achievement gap).

El Paso came in at number 12 while Corpus Christi was 16, Beaumont was 9, McAllen was 2 and Brownsville was numero uno. As for the most educated cities, only Austin showed up, at number 9, to represent Texas.
