A New England state has been ranked the smartest state in the nation, according to a new study.

Research by free online education platform Guru99 analyzed six different metrics: average IQ, graduation rates, percentage of the population with low literacy rates, average SAT scores, % of the states that don’t have a high school diploma or GED and GDP per capita and ranked New Hampshire as the smartest state in the nation.

When looking at the metrics, states were given a total score out of 60.

New Hampshire scored a 56.82.
