Dos Pueblos, Santa Barbara, and San Marcos high schools make Newsweek’s list of America’s Best High Schools for 2010

According to Newsweek Magazine, “Each year, NEWSWEEK picks the best high schools in the country based on how hard school staffs work to challenge students with advanced-placement college-level courses and tests. Just over 1,600 schools—only 6 percent of all the public schools in the U.S.—made the list. This year's rankings have some fantastic new interactive features. We’ve teamed up with a data company called Factual to create individual profile pages for each school where students and faculty can comment and contribute.”

Dos Pueblos High School ranked 614, Santa Barbara High School ranked 1390, and San Marcos High School ranked 1617 on the Newsweek list.

This year, the top five four-year colleges and universities most often attended by our graduates: UC Berkeley, UC Santa Barbara, UC Los Angeles, Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, UC Santa Cruz.

The top two-year college most often attended by our graduates: Santa Barbara City College.

Congratulations students, staff, parents, and community partners!
