Forbes says Wellesley's smart

Wellesley ranked second on Forbes’ list of America’s Most Educated Small Towns, a listing based on largely on the number of advanced degrees among residents (45.6% of residents 25 or older). The ranking also makes note of Wellesley’s college scene and strong high school.  Bethesda topped the list and nearby Mass. towns Brookline (11) and Needham (17) also made the list.
