We’re Number 459.

That’s the position at which Bainbridge High School was ranked on the recently released annual list of America’s top high schools by Newsweek, on which schools were graded in the categories of “College Readiness,” “Graduation Rate,” “College Bound” and “Poverty.”

BHS was credited with 76.7 percent in college readiness and 91.8 percent in the college bound category. The school’s graduation rate was listed as 95.2 percent and the poverty level as only 6.9 percent.

The list was released Wednesday, Aug. 19.

The first-place school was Thomas Jefferson High School in Virginia, which boasts a 100 percent graduation rate and college readiness score.

The highest ranking school in Washington was Orcas Island High School, which claimed a 100 percent graduation rate and an 81.2 percent college readiness score.

Newsweek also published a list of 500 schools “Beating the Odds,” an award bestowed upon schools “doing an exceptional job of preparing students from disadvantaged backgrounds for college.”

According to Newsweek, “‘America’s Top High Schools’ identifies [the] top 500 schools by measuring factors including graduation rate, college enrollment rate, SAT and ACT scores and participation, AP/IB scores and participation, full time counselors to students ratio, dropout rate, enrollment in college courses during high school and state test scores.”

The myriad of factors taken into consideration makes the list a truly comprehensive, officials said.

“Newsweek’s High School Rankings are exceptional because of the many factors we take into consideration when selecting top schools as well as our look at inequality when it comes to education. We have unique insight into what public schools across the country are doing to prepare their students for college, which is a critical next step for graduating teens,” said Jim Impoco, editor in chief of Newsweek.

“Our analysis looks at a broad range of criteria and sheds light on schools that are setting the bar high for their students and helping them to succeed in the next chapter of their education,” Impoco said.
