Personal finance website WalletHub just released the findings of their study on how safe it is to open schools in every U.S. state. To arrive at their conclusions, the researchers at WalletHub compared states using 15 key metrics, including things like the number of confirmed child COVID-19 cases per 100,000 children, the average size of a public school class in the state, and the ratio of students to school nurses. Scoring each metric on a weighted scale, each state was given a total score (100.00 being the safest possible). WalletHub also ranked all 50 states in terms of the health and financial infrastructure of their public school system, their level of COVID risk, and an overall rank for how safe it is to open schools right now. In all metrics, 1 is considered the safest and 50 is the least safe. Taking all of that into account, here are the five most dangerous states for opening schools right now.
