Newsweek and The Boca Raton Tribune are recognizing two Palm Beach County high schools as being among the best 2,000 public high schools in the United States.
Suncoast Community High School and the Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts made Newsweek’s annual “America’s Best High Schools” list for 2013.
They ranked 9th and 39th respectively both boast graduation rates of 100 percent. Schools were ranked based on a number of factors, including graduation rate, college acceptance rate, average SAT or ACT scores and the number of students taking advanced classes.
“Total commitment to a culture of achievement for all and service to others fuels excellence at Suncoast,” said Principal Dr. Linda Cartlidge. “Newsweek’s recognition of Suncoast as one of the nation’s Top 10 schools for the eighth year validates this mission.”
“The Dreyfoos Community is proud of our Newsweek ranking as we continue to strive for academic excellence and increase student achievement each year,” said Principal Dr. Susan Atherley.
More than 115 Florida high schools were included in the total list. Boca Raton Community High School ranked 226 and Spanish River Community High School ranked 245.
