"America's Best High Schools" Includes 11 from SDUSD
Newsweek's Annual Rankings Recognize College Test Success
SAN DIEGO -- Out of about 20,000 high schools in America, Newsweek
magazine has selected eleven San Diego Unified schools as being among
the best, with the Preuss UCSD charter coming in as No. 10 in the
nation.
The 2009 list includes the following SDUSD schools ( with rankings): 10,
Preuss UCSD; 59, San Diego High School for International Studies; 237,
La Jolla; 290, University City; 297, Serra; 335, Mira Mesa; 401, Scripps
Ranch; 480, Henry; 506, Point Loma; 581, San Diego School of Creative
and Performing Arts; 1,196, Clairemont.
"This is a significant showing by a group of very fine schools," said
Superintendent Terry Grier. "It is a testimonial not only to the hard
working teachers and staff, but the students who excel."
The Newsweek rankings are based on students' success with Advanced
Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) tests. High school
students passing these tests can receive college credit as a result.
Newsweek's scores are determined by dividing the number of tests taken
at a school by the number of graduating seniors. The magazine ranked the
top 1,478 public high schools.
