Both Claremont High School and Bonita High in La Verne were ranked on a list of the top 2,500 schools in the country put out by Newsweek on Monday, which ranked Claremont High #1063 and Bonita High as #1439.

For its rankings, Newsweek sent out a survey to more than 5,000 high schools in the U.S., with about 2,500 schools responding in 2013. You can see the details about Claremont High and Bonita High's rankings, and every other ranked high school by clicking on the markers in the interactive map above.

The survey scores were then weighted and calculated using several criteria including on-time graduation and college acceptance rates. In addition, instead of averaging the number of courses offered, this year Newsweek considered the percentage of students enrolled in AP, IB or Advance International Certificate courses. The final scores then determined Newsweek’s final rankings.
