Santa Barbara School Districts’ Three Comprehensive High Schools Listed in Newsweek’s 2008 Ranking of the Top 1,300 U.S. High Schools
Following is an excerpt from Newsweek online:
“Public schools are ranked according to a ratio devised by Jay Mathews: the number of Advanced Placement, Intl. Baccalaureate and/or Cambridge tests taken by all students at a school in 2007 divided by the number of graduating seniors. All of the schools on the list have an index of at least 1.000; they are in the top 5 percent of public schools measured this way.”
Congratulations to San Marcos High School (ranked at 411), Santa Barbara High School (ranked 790), and Dos Pueblos High School (ranked 922)!
Newsweek rankings from 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2007 are also available.
