Due to the number of museums and access to institutions of higher education, Charleston ranked highly on our list. The Magnet High School set high academic expectations making it the top ranked school in South Carolina.”

Charleston makes it to a lot of "Best Of" lists but other than the Academic Magnet High School specifically, this is the first time I've seen it on a best of list for education. There has been a lot of money moving to Charleston in the past couple of decades and a lot of property tax money has been going to improving the schools so I guess it makes sense.
