"San Francisco" is actually "San Francisco/Oakland/Hayward" and as the map clearly shows, the latter two drag down the overall average educational achievement vs SF city proper. Not sure if there are similar phenomena vis a vis Atlanta or if its suburbs or satellite cities actually raise the metro average.
