Study ranks Arkansas first in early childhood education

study conducted by WalletHub shows that Arkansas has the best early education system in America. The study uses 12 metrics to determine its rankings. Cassandra Happe, an analyst for WalletHub, said those 12 metrics can be grouped into three main categories: access, quality, and resources and economic support.

 

Arkansas came in first overall, and they really stood out in the quality dimension. They ranked second in that particular category, and in resources and economic support, they ranked fourth. However, it seems there’s a little room for improvement in access, as they came in fifth overall—still a strong showing.
