A new study finds that Illinois has one of the best public school systems in the U.S. while Tennessee has one of the worst.

WalletHub recently ranked public school systems based on quality, which looked at test scores, and safety, which looked at student safety at school.

The two scores were combined together to get a ranking of all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Illinois was near the top of the list, ranking in at number 11. Illinois was tied for 1st place with Missouri and Wisconsin for the highest median SAT score.
