3 OUSD High Schools make Newsweek's best schools list
3 OUSD High Schools make Newsweek magazine’s
“America’s Best High Schools List”
Three Orange Unified High Schools have made the Newsweek magazine’s “America’s Best High Schools” list for 2010: Canyon High School, El Modena High School and Villa Park High School. Only 6% of American high schools make the list of 1,623 schools from all 50 states. Newsweek uses a formula that counts the total number of students at each school who prepare for and take any of three college level tests- Advance Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) or the Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE)- and divided that number by the number of seniors at that school graduating that year.
Canyon High School has made the list every year since 2006. This year they were ranked number 853. Past year’s ranks are: 2009-# 605; 2008-# 537; 2007-# 750; 2006-# 952.
El Modena High School has made the list four times. This year the school was ranked number 1269. Past year’s ranks are: 2008-# 915; 2007-# 1075; 2006-#1145.
Villa Park High School has made the list three times. This year the school ranked number 593. In 2009 the school ranked 433 and in 2006 the school ranked 590.
