Worth noting that Arkansas consistently ranks in the bottom 10 states for public education

"In education, despite what the pro-LEARNS crowd says, Arkansas came in 43rd, which is two places lower than in 2021. Pre-K to 12th grade and higher education both fared poorly"
Arkansas is also 49th in the US for adults with a college education:
