City Brainpower Rankings

In this recent report, Sacramento is ranked 30th among 50 cities ranked by the level of education of its citizens.

In Sacramento: 22.69% did not graduate from high school, 21.46% did. 15.54% have bachelor’s degrees and 8.41% have graduate degrees.

In Seattle, ranking # 1: 10.53% did not graduate from high school, 15.56% did. 29.89% have bachelor’s degrees and 17.31% have graduate degrees.

Perhaps with a little more focus on education we can put a little more focus on taking care of our great public resources, like the Parkway.
