After all, it\u2019s kind of what we do here. There are tons of things to take into consideration\u2014how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/top-ten\/most-exciting-counties\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exciting<\/a> a place, how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/top-ten\/most-affordable-zip-codes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">affordable<\/a>, how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/top-ten\/happiest-mid-sized-cities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">happy<\/a>, and if you\u2019re a parent, how good the schools are.<br \/>\nUnfortunately there isn\u2019t really a master list out there that breaks it all down for you\u2014where the best places are for student-to-teacher ratios, costs, and all of the other factors that go into a good education. So, being the straight A students that we are, we decided to do the homework for you.<br \/>\nWe\u2019ve already looked up the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/top-ten\/best-suburbs-for-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">suburbs<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/top-ten\/best-small-cities-for-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">small cities<\/a> for education, so today we\u2019re hitting the mid-sized cities. So grab a pen, paper, and get ready for some major note-taking. Here are the 10 best mid-sized cities for education:<br \/>\n1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/alexandria-va\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alexandria, VA<\/a><br \/>\n2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/frisco-tx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Frisco, TX<\/a><br \/>\n3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/naperville-il\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Naperville, IL<\/a><br \/>\n4. Cedar Rapids, IA<br \/>\n5. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/overland-park-ks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Overland Park, KS<\/a><br \/>\n6. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/fort-collins-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fort Collins, CO<\/a><br \/>\n7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/olathe-ks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Olathe, KS<\/a><br \/>\n8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/mckinney-tx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">McKinney, TX<\/a><br \/>\n9. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/torrance-ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Torrance, CA<\/a><br \/>\n10. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/little-rock-ar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Little Rock, AR<\/a><br \/>\nDon\u2019t worry, there\u2019s no test at the end, but we will go over our methodology in the next section, and then we\u2019ll take a closer look at why each of these 10 places made the honor roll.<\/p>\n<h2>How We Created This Ranking<\/h2>\n<p>We started out by collecting data for 100 mid-sized cities in the U.S., using the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.census.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2013 U.S. Census<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bestplaces.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sperling\u2019s Best Places<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greatschools.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GreatSchools.org<\/a>. Once we omitted any places that did not have complete data, we were left with a total of 98 mid-sized cities, which we then ranked with scores from 1 to 98 in the following categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Student-to-teacher ratio<\/li>\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)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Then we averaged each place\u2019s score into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/kind-of-a-big-deal-lists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Big Deal Score<\/a>, where the lower scores were the better places for education.<br \/>\nIf your mid-sized city didn\u2019t make the cut this year, don\u2019t worry. There\u2019s always next year. And feel free to check out the table at the bottom of the post for the top 50.<br \/>\nFirst, though, let\u2019s take a closer look at our top 10, starting with this year\u2019s valedictorian, Alexandria, VA.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Alexandria, VA<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" alt=\"Best Mid-Sized Cities For Education\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2015\/01\/best-mid-sized-cities-education\/images\/1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user USFWS Fisheries<\/div>\n<p>Just outside of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/washington-dc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington, D.C<\/a>., Alexandria is one of the most affluent and academic cities in the area. Clearly, this is a pretty good combination when it comes to education. Case in point: the average cost per student in the area\u2014$18,398 per year. That\u2019s the fourth highest amount in this category.<br \/>\nAlexandria also scored points for its student-to-teacher ratio of just 12 to 1. To put this into perspective for you, the national average is 16 to 1, and in some places we looked at, it was as high as 23, or even 29 to 1.<br \/>\nAnd sure, it didn\u2019t get the best score from GreatSchools.org (it got a 5 out of 10), but hey, with a 91 percent high school graduation rate, they\u2019re clearly doing something right.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Frisco, TX<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" alt=\"Best Mid-Sized Cities For Education\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2015\/01\/best-mid-sized-cities-education\/images\/2.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Patrick McKenna<\/div>\n<p>Remember how we said that Alexandria didn\u2019t have such a stellar score from GreatSchools.org? Well, that is certainly not the case for Frisco. It scored a 9 out of 10 based on students\u2019 test performance, tying it for first in this category.<br \/>\nIt also had one of the higher high school graduation rates for mid-sized cities in the country at 94 percent, plus a lower than average student-to-teacher ratio of 15 to 1. They don\u2019t spend quite as much money per student as Alexandria (Frisco\u2019s is just $11,521), but clearly, money doesn\u2019t always guarantee a good education.<br \/>\nOf course it can certainly help. Just take a look at our next city.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Naperville, IL<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" alt=\"Best Mid-Sized Cities For Education\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2015\/01\/best-mid-sized-cities-education\/images\/3.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user hyphenmatt<\/div>\n<p>As we mentioned above, Frisco tied for first in the category of GreatSchools.org scores, and what mid-sized city tied with it? Yep, that would be Naperville. Not only did it score a 9 out of 10 for students\u2019 test scores, but it also had the highest high school graduation rate in the country\u201496 percent!<br \/>\nThis, plus a budget of nearly $15,000 per student make Naperville, IL an excellent candidate for next year\u2019s No. 1.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Cedar Rapids, IA<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" alt=\"Best Mid-Sized Cities For Education\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2015\/01\/best-mid-sized-cities-education\/images\/4.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Joel Dinda<\/div>\n<p>Many of the cities on our list scored exceptionally well in one or two categories\u2014and then pretty poorly in others. You know, kind of like when your report cards always showed As in English and History, but Cs in math\u2026 Just me?<br \/>\nAnyway, Cedar Rapids is not one of those types of students because it did pretty well across the board. It came in with the 18th lowest student-to-teacher ratio, the 17th highest amount spent per student ($13,323), and the 13th highest high school graduation rate\u201489 percent.<br \/>\nPlus, it got a 6 out of 10 from GreatSchools.org, which may not be a 9 like the two before it. But hey, at least it\u2019s no 2 (sorry, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/west-valley-city-ut\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">West Valley City, UT<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<h2>5. Overland Park, KS<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" alt=\"Best Mid-Sized Cities For Education\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2015\/01\/best-mid-sized-cities-education\/images\/5.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user tlc<\/div>\n<p>Overland Park is the first of two cities representing the Sunflower State\u2019s education, so congratulations to both the city and state as a whole! Okay, back to business.<br \/>\nThe reasons Overland Park came in so high on our list were its high school graduation rate of 95 percent, making it the second highest in the category, and its GreatSchools.org score of 8 out of 10.<br \/>\nIt didn\u2019t do quite as well when it came to money spent per student (just $10,905, tying it for 53rd in the category), but with a student-to-teacher ratio of just 15 to 1, it was below the national average of 16 to 1.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Fort Collins, CO<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" alt=\"Best Mid-Sized Cities For Education\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2015\/01\/best-mid-sized-cities-education\/images\/6.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Dr._Colleen_Morgan<\/div>\n<p>Fort Collins may have a slightly higher than average student-to-teacher ratio (17, as opposed to 16 to 1), but with its high school graduation rate of 93 percent, they\u2019re clearly doing something right.<br \/>\nOne of those somethings must be test preparation, because tied with a few other places, Fort Collins students had the 13th highest test scores in our study.<br \/>\nSecond something: this city spent the 24th highest amount per student at $12,346 a year. Like we said, money can\u2019t buy a good education\u2026 but it sure can help.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Olathe, KS<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" alt=\"Best Mid-Sized Cities For Education\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2015\/01\/best-mid-sized-cities-education\/images\/7.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user David Reber<\/div>\n<p>The second of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/ks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kansas<\/a> cities, Olathe scored well for its student-to-teacher ratio of just 14 to 1 and its high school graduation rate of 92 percent. This placed it 11th and sixth in these categories, respectively.<br \/>\nAs any A student knows, though, this wasn\u2019t quite enough to put it among our top 10\u2014the real deciding factor was its high score from GreatSchools.org. So congratulations to Olathe, and particularly its students who scored a 7 out of 10 based on test performance! Now get back to studying.<\/p>\n<h2>8. McKinney, TX<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" alt=\"Best Mid-Sized Cities For Education\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2015\/01\/best-mid-sized-cities-education\/images\/8.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user U.S. Department of Agriculture<\/div>\n<p>McKinney may not have scored quite as well as our other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/tx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Texas<\/a> city, but hey this isn\u2019t a contest.<br \/>\nAside from that, though, McKinney did pretty well in all other categories. It had a student-to-teacher ratio of 16 to 1, which is right on average for the U.S., it scored a 7 out of 10 for students\u2019 test performance, and had a high school graduation rate of 89 percent.<br \/>\nTo put that into perspective for you, look no further than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/brownsville-tx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brownsville, TX<\/a>, where the high school graduation rate is just 56 percent. That\u2019s the lowest for mid-sized cities in the U.S.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Torrance, CA<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" alt=\"Best Mid-Sized Cities For Education\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2015\/01\/best-mid-sized-cities-education\/images\/9.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Kurt Thomas Hunt<\/div>\n<p>If the beaches, moderate year-round climate, and low crime rates weren\u2019t quite enough for you to consider Torrance, pay attention to this: out of all of the places we looked at, Torrance had the sixth highest high school graduation rate and tied for fourth for its GreatSchools.org score.<br \/>\nStudents are also pretty well taken care of financially here, with an average of $12,346 spent per year per student. In fact, the only thing Torrance really needs to work on, it seems, is its student-to-teacher ratio of 21 to 1\u2014one of the highest ratios in the country.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Little Rock, AR<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" alt=\"Best Mid-Sized Cities For Education\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2015\/01\/best-mid-sized-cities-education\/images\/10.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user AGB in AR<\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re one of the many people who feel that tests are a poor way to judge a proper education, well, Little Rock might be the city for you. That\u2019s because it did well in all of our categories\u2014except for its GreatSchools.org rating. It earned a 4 out of 10 for test scores.<br \/>\nThat being said, it also had a lower than average student-to-teacher ratio (just 15 to 1), a high school graduation rate of 87 percent, and an average of $14,729 spent per student each year. So really, what\u2019s a little thing like test scores?<\/p>\n<h2>Class Dismissed<\/h2>\n<p>Well we hope this list has been most educational for you\u2014especially if you\u2019re a parent (or soon to be parent!) looking for the best mid-sized city for your kiddo\u2019s schooling.
