because science? ... Yikes!

Amsterdam is not the only city in the Capital Region to make the list ... Road Snacks recently compiled a list ranking the 'Dumbest Cities In New York' and they say that its because science says so, so obviously this list has to be completely accurate right?!?

Apparently they came up with some equation that included the percentage of the population that had less than a high school education and the percentage that dropped out of high school along with some other criteria (which you can read about HERE) to make the list and it results in a couple of cities in the Capital Region making it into the top 10.

HUDSON FALLS came in at #9 on the list and it says that they have "the third highest rate of teenage high school dropout rates in the state" and "21% of teenagers living in Hudson Falls drop out of high school each year." plus '16.9% of adults in Hudson Falls also lack a GED"

GLOVERSVILLE makes the list at #6 with "14.4% of teenagers leave high school in each year" and apparently a fifth of adults "lack their high school diploma."

which bring us to ...

AMSTERDAM at #4 where "15.8% of teenage students leaving education before acquiring their diplomas." and "21% of Amsterdam adults also lack a GED."

Dang guys! Way to make me feel like I should take a class or two! You can check out  the rest of the top 10 list and see where you city landed over all by clicking the button below!
