But not everyone wants to live in a huge city with tons of schools, so where can the more peaceful sort go that still offers good education options?<br \/>\nAs it turns out, there are a lot of places for people like those. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Movoto Real Estate<\/a> Blog noticed that there were so many, it only seemed natural to rank them by how good their schools were. So we put on our thinking caps and studied hard to get this top 10 list of the best small cities for education:<br \/>\n1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/chapel-hill-nc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chapel Hill, NC<\/a><br \/>\n2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/novi-mi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Novi, MI<\/a><br \/>\n3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/oak-park-il\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oak Park, IL<\/a><br \/>\n4. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/cedar-park-tx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cedar Park, TX<\/a><br \/>\n5. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/auburn-al\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Auburn, AL<\/a> (tie)<br \/>\n5. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/royal-oak-mi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Royal Oak, MI<\/a> (tie)<br \/>\n7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/hoffman-estates-il\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hoffman Estates, IL<\/a><br \/>\n8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/manhattan-ks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Manhattan, KS<\/a><br \/>\n9. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/west-des-moines-ia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">West Des Moines, IA<\/a><br \/>\n10. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/lakeville-mn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lakeville, MN<\/a><br \/>\nWhile some of these rankings might surprise you, we promise we\u2019ll show our work in the very next section.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re curious where your hometown ranked, you can see the top 50 small cities for education in the table at the bottom of this article. It should also be noted that the majority of our bottom ranking cities were in California. For now, let\u2019s take a look at our methodology.<\/p>\n<h2>How We Created This Ranking<\/h2>\n<p>We selected 140 small cities (populations between 50,000 and 60,000) then used the U.S. Census\u2019 American Community Survey, AreaVibes, and GreatSchools.org to collect what we deemed important education criteria. Those criteria were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Student-teacher ratio\n<li>Money spent per year per student<\/li>\n<li>High school graduation rate<\/li>\n<li>GreatSchools.org rating (based on test scores for the area)<\/h2>\n<\/ul>\n<p>From there, we ranked each place in each category from one to 140, with one being the best. Then we averaged each place\u2019s scores into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/kind-of-a-big-deal-lists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Big Deal Score<\/a>, with scores closer to one being the best.<br \/>\nWith that, we found that Chapel Hill was the best small city for education. Let\u2019s take a look at why it\u2014and the rest of our top 10\u2014are best for students.<\/p>\n<h2>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/chapel-hill-nc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chapel Hill, NC<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/small-cities-education\/images\/1.jpg\" alt=\"Chapel Hill, NC\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Tom<\/div>\n<p>Many people are concerned about test scores when selecting a school. In that area, Chapel Hill stood head and shoulders above the competition, with a nine out of 10 ranking for test scores. However, more than that goes into creating a good education environment, and this city was at the head of the class there, too.<br \/>\nThis place had a low student-teacher ratio of 13 to 1 and a high school graduation rate of over 94 percent. Top that off with whole a lot of school money being spent per year per student, and you have a place that offers good academics, a good outlook for your future, and an environment that fosters growth.<\/p>\n<h2>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/novi-mi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Novi, MI<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/small-cities-education\/images\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Novi, MI\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user dirtyblueshirt<\/div>\n<p>The second place on our list also managed a nine out of 10 mark for test scores, and also had a fairly good student-teacher ratio of 16 to 1. It even had a high school graduation rate of 94 percent. In short, our top two were very similar places.<br \/>\nNovi did have one area in which it scored better, with schools spending $6,723 per student per year. If you\u2019re looking to study here, you\u2019re looking at a lot of personal attention, rigorous classes, and a bright academic future.<\/p>\n<h2>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/oak-park-il\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oak Park, IL<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/small-cities-education\/images\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Oak Park, IL\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user 350 .org<\/div>\n<p>Like our top two places, Oak Park offered nine out of 10 test scores. It also had a graduation rate over 94 percent, and a decent student-teacher ratio. This indicated an all-around great place for learning success.<br \/>\nWhere this place really excelled, however, was in the amount schools spent on their students. Schools in the area spent a whopping $8,229 per student per year. So expect your school in Oak Park to offer you a good education and a good growth environment as well.<\/p>\n<h2>4. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/cedar-park-tx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cedar Park, TX<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/small-cities-education\/images\/4.jpg\" alt=\"Cedar Park, TX\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Roy Niswanger<\/div>\n<p>While schools in Cedar Park don\u2019t seem to spend quite as much on their students as our top three schools they still offer some pretty amazing learning opportunities. With a student-teacher ratio of 13 to 1, students here are bound to feel looked after and get personal attention when needed.<br \/>\nThe test scores here were also high, ranking eight out of 10. Top that off with a high school graduation rate over 94 percent, and there\u2019s no doubt the schools here are ready to cater to you or your young students.<\/p>\n<h2>5. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/auburn-al\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Auburn, AL<\/a> (tie)<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/small-cities-education\/images\/5.jpg\" alt=\"Auburn, AL\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Carolina Rojas S.<\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for well scoring schools and lots of individual attention, you can find it in Auburn. With test score of eight out of 10 and a student-teacher ratio of 14 to 1, schools offered challenging studies and help from teachers when you look for it.<br \/>\nThere was also a fair amount of money spent per year per student here, and a high school graduation rate of over 91 percent. If you want a bright future for you and yours, you need look no further than this fine city.<\/p>\n<h2>5. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/royal-oak-mi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Royal Oak, MI<\/a> (tie)<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/small-cities-education\/images\/6.jpg\" alt=\"Royal Oak, MI\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Dave Hogg<\/div>\n<p>Tied for fifth with Auburn is the still very educational city of Royal Oak. This second <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/mi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Michigan<\/a> representative on our list had an eight out of 10 mark for test scores, as well as a graduation rate for high school students of 92 percent.<br \/>\nThere was a good student-teacher ratio of 17 to 1, plenty of schools to choose from in case you\u2019re looking for the perfect fit, and many counselors to help when your student hits a snag. It also doesn\u2019t hurt that schools here spent $6,475 per student per year.<\/p>\n<h2>7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/hoffman-estates-il\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hoffman Estates, IL<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/small-cities-education\/images\/7.jpg\" alt=\"Hoffman Estate, IL\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user H. Michael Miley <\/div>\n<p>Hoffman Estates offers a lot of great things across the board for students. Eight out of 10 test scores, great high school graduation rate, and a good student-teacher ratio all kept this place easily in our top 10.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s worth mentioning that the student-teacher ratio here was what really jumped out , with only 16 students per teacher. There were also a number of schools in the area, so parents have some options when decided where to send their little pupil.<\/p>\n<h2>8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/manhattan-ks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Manhattan, KS<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/small-cities-education\/images\/8.jpg\" alt=\"Manhattan, KS\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Jeff Croft<\/div>\n<p>If you want good prospects and lots of help from teachers, this is the place to go. The student-teacher ratio in Manhattan was 13 to 1, and there were plenty of counselors around if students need someone to lean on. There was quite a bit of money spent per student as well, so you\u2019ll get financial attention too.<br \/>\nWhere this place really shone brightly was in high school graduation rate. Over 95 percent of students graduate high school here, giving them a leg up in their future goals. We will say than Manhattan had lower test scores than our other top 10, but there were still quite good.<\/p>\n<h2>9. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/west-des-moines-ia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">West Des Moines, IA<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/small-cities-education\/images\/9.jpg\" alt=\"West Des Moines, IA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user AnneCN<\/div>\n<p>This city was at the very top in the way of high school graduation rate. Over 96 percent of students graduated, and they did so with test scores that ranked eight out of 10. Not bad for our only Iowa representative in the top 10.<br \/>\nThere was also a decent amount of money spent per student per year, and the student-teacher ratio was 16 to 1. Overall, very positive scores that indicate a great educational environment in West Des Moines.<\/p>\n<h2>10. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/lakeville-mn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lakeville, MN<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/small-cities-education\/images\/10.jpg\" alt=\"Lakeville, MN\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Doug Wallick<\/div>\n<p>Though it\u2019s the last of our top 10, Lakeville is hardly last in education. They had a test score ranking of nine out of 10 and a high school graduation rate of 96 percent, both scoring at the top of the list for those categories.<br \/>\nThough it didn\u2019t do quite as well as others on our top 10 list in money spent per student per year and student-teacher ratio, both were still ranked very decently overall. If you\u2019re looking for your student to have high marks as they head out for college or the working world, you could certainly do worse than this little city.<\/p>\n<h2>We Hope You Learned Something<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to learn, or help loved ones learn, you should look no further than these very educational top 10. All offer good student test scores, high graduation rates, and school environments that offer personal attention both financially and emotionally.
