The annual U.S. News and World Report high school rankings have been released. Thomas Jefferson HS in Alexandria, VA takes number 1 (again). But more interesting is a break down of top charter schools and top schools serving significant portions of socioeconomically-disadvantaged children (based on free and reduced-price lunch stats). Two charter schools made it into the top 10 of all public schools: Pacific Collegiate School in Santa Cruz, CA (ranked 7) and BASIS Tucson in Tucson, AZ (ranked 9). Connecticut had the most high-performing high schools out of all fifty states. Check out the entire list here.
