Four Wake County Public School System high schools are in Newsweek magazine's new rating of the top 1,300 U.S. high schools.
Enloe High is ranked 72. Broughton High is 443. Green Hope High is 594. Wakefield High is 1,163.
The magazine has created a formula that uses the total number of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate or Cambridge tests given at a school in May, and divides that by the number of seniors graduating in May or June. All of the schools on the list are in the top 5 percent of public schools measured this way.
The magazine includes the Top 100 schools in its printed edition that's on the newstands for May 26. The list of 1,300 schools is online. You can read about the list here.
Students are currently taking Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate exams at WCPSS high schools for 2007-08. You can find a report on student performance on the Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate exams taken for 2006-07 here.
