Education in the South is poor compared to New England and the other regions. There are exceptions though like Duke, North Carolina, Texas at Austin, Florida, Florida State, Vanderbilt, etc. I am attending Auburn University which has one of the best engineering programs in the United States. However, the Midwest(particularly Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois) and New England have far superior education and the United States should put more money in raising the education level and less on things like military.

If education is important to you, just go to the country with the #1 rated education system in the world.

That would be.... NEW ZEALAND! :)

And the link to this would be....

Oh wait, I found one:

Student Performance on the Reading, Scientific and Mathematical Literacy Scale

http://www.geographic.org/country_ranks/educational_score_performance_country_ranks_2009_oecd.html 

Korea, Finland, Canada are top 3, NZ squeaks in at #4 but hey, better than the USA at 33..

 

Anyhow OT: Since I am from Canada, I'd have to say Japan, Australia or Netherlands

Though after I read about how many insects, etc in Aus can kill you with a bite... Japan or Netherlands


Overall it comes in #3 behind Finland and Canada (you were just looking at the top listing. But ok, #3. I did find something somewhere that had it tied at #1.
