To evaluate the erudition of 100 cities, we tabulated the Department of Education's high-school graduation rates, along with U.S. Census figures on school enrollment (kindergarten through grad school) and education levels of people over 25 (less than high school, associate's or bachelor's degree, graduate or professional degree). We also tapped SimplyMap to find out how many households have student loans or take adult-education courses.
