What a weird methodology they use. The entire basis for "smartness" seems to be based on public primary school statistics.

If you accept their criteria as valid measurements of something, it seems to be me it would just be statewide quality of public primary schools. By thoes criteria the entire graduating classes of Ivy League universities from 1990-2006 could move to California and the state would not get at all "smarter."
