Three local high schools have made the list of America's Best High Schools as ranked by U.S. News and World Report. Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair and Peters Township high schools received a silver ranking. Schools receive gold, silver, bronze or honorable mention awards. No local schools received a gold ranking.
Pennsylvania ranked 17th, along with Kentucky, in the number of schools receiving an award. Only one school in the state, Julia Masterman Secondary School in Philadelphia, received a gold award. The ratings system uses publicly available test scores and curriculum information to rank schools based largely on how well they perform against statistical expectations based on students' past performance.

PLEASE NOTE: On Blog-Lebo, we do not publish anonymous comments. You must put your name to your words. Include your full name in the text of your comment (usually at the end), and you’ll be fine. Or post from a Blogger account having a public profile that includes your full name. Either way will work. But if you don’t include your name, or if we have reason to believe the name on your comment isn’t authentic, we will not be able to publish your comment.
Why must I use my full name?
When you post a comment on Blog-Lebo, you are making a public statement. Therefore, we require that you accept responsibility for your words. Just like at a public meeting of the school board or municipal government, when you stand to speak on Blog-Lebo, you must state your full name. That way, everyone will know who is speaking, and you will know that you’re responsible for what you say.
And for only $150 million, we can assure ourselves a gold ranking next year.
