There’s more than just cheese in the heads up here in Wisconsin. We’ve already covered all of the breakthroughs and inventions made right here in Wisconsin. Looking for an egghead? Here are ten cities you might want to look at:
- De Pere
Quinn Dombroski/Flickr You might think of De Pere just as “that city by Green Bay,” but you are driving right by one of the smartest cities in Wisconsin. Home to St. Norbert College, professors and students fraternize in the downtown area. St. Norbert offers several educational opportunities, from classes to workshops, some of which are open to the public. In this city of just over 20,000 there are two library branches.
- Verona
jim simonson/Flickr Many people here have a bachelor’s degree and also it is tied for number 1 (w/Middleton) for its high school graduation rate. If you love to read, you’re in luck. Libraries per capita are number 5 in the state.
- Middleton
DieselDemon/Flickr As noted above, Middleton is tied with Verona for the highest graduation rate. Just around 95 percent of high school students will graduate. In addition, around 1/3 of people have a bachelor’s degree.
- Pewaukee
David Lopez/Flickr Almost thirty percent of people living in Pewaukee have their bachelor’s degree. In addition, 94 percent of kids graduate from high school.
5, Hudson

- Mequon
Brad Smith/Flickr Home to Concordia University, Mequon has a lot of residents who love to flex their brain muscles. 35% of people have a bachelor’s degree. And the K-12 program is awesome, with 96% graduating.
- Whitefish Bay
Jonathan Haynes/Flickr Whitefish Bay is full of professionals, so it’s not surprising that a whopping 42% have a bachelor’s degree. Moreover, kids have a 98% chance of graduating from high school.
- Sussex
Jim Bauer/Flickr Sussex residents spend a lot of time reading history books, and other books, because a quarter of residents have a bachelor’s degree or higher.
- Shorewood
michaelmeidenbauer/Flickr Shorewood is a small village, but smart, with just around 1/3 of residents attaining a bachelor’s degree. Additionally, about 95% of high schoolers will graduate.
- Waunakee
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources/Flickr Waunakee is great for thinkers, with a third of residents holding a bachelor’s degree. What’s more is that around 92% of children graduate high school.
