The website “Roadsnacks” has compiled their list of the 10 dumbest cities in Tennessee. They’re not just picking on Tennessee, so calm down. They do this for every state as “Infotainment”.
The criteria
- % of city’s population with less than a high school education (Age 25+)

Here we go:
- LaFollette
- Rockwood
- McMinnville
- Covington
