U.S. News & World Report, known for its college rankings, for the first time has turned its attention to ranking public high schools nationwide. The result is a list honoring schools as different as Mt. Lebanon, a high-achieving suburban school, and Duquesne, which was so troubled the state forced the closing of the high school this year.
The top rating goes to 100 numerically ranked "gold" high schools, only two of which are in Pennsylvania: Julia R. Masterman in Philadelphia and Conestoga Senior High in Berwyn, Chester County. No. 1 in the country was Thomas Jefferson High School in Alexandria, Va., a magnet school for science and technology.
Another 405, which are unranked, are considered "silver," including Allderdice, Hampton, Mt. Lebanon, North Allegheny and Upper St. Clair.
