According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Educational Attainment in the
United States was as follows in 2009

85.3 per cent of Americans were high school grads
27.9 per cent were college grads
10.3 per cent had advanced college degrees

South Carolina's percentages for the same categories:

83.6
24.3
8.4

Maryland's percentages for the same categories:

88.2
35.7
16.0

Maryland's percentage of its citizens with post graduate degrees is
among the highest in the nation. South Carolina's is…below average.

Have nice day…and read a book.

How does that break out by county?

I suppose I could find out on factfinder census if I were so motivated.
My guess is that in Maryland, the educational leaders would be
Montgomery, Anne Arundel, Howard Counties, and the suburban counties
around Baltimore. Our county wouldn't be near the top of the
list...we're still mostly rural-ish here and I don't believe we have any
four year colleges in the immediate area.
