GOSHEN —
GOSHEN — Eight local high schools were included in a report of top high schools in an annual survey by U.S. News and World and World Report magazine.
Goshen High School was ranked 12th in the state and 1,268 nationally in the U.S. News report. Concord is listed as 18th in the state and 1,621 in the national study. Fairfield was 21st in Indiana and 1,795 in the national study.
Northridge High School was listed as 27th in Indiana and 1,907 in the national report. Westview is 29th in the state and 1,998 in the U.S. News ranking.
NorthWood, Wawasee and West Noble were not ranked, but were recognized nationally by the U.S. News study. Elkhart schools were not recognized.
This is the fourth edition of the U.S. News “best high schools” rankings. The report is available exclusively online.
U.S. News partnered with the Washington, D.C.-based American Institutes of Research to conduct the study. To determine the best high schools, they were first analyzed at the state level in terms of how well students in each school performed on state assessments, taking into account the test scores of disadvantaged students who tend to score lower on tests.
The study looked at how well schools prepare students for college-level work by analyzing student success in Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureat (IB) programs, both of which include college level courses.
The report is available at usnews.com/education/high-schools/articles.
