Davis Senior High School earns accolades, ranks high in key academic categories.
Davis earned a place among the Top 100 Best High Schools in California for 2012, as announced Tuesday by US News and World Report magazine.
Granite Bay ranked 69th on the list, which factored in key academic elements.
A three-step process determines the news magazine's Best High Schools ranking. The first two steps ensured that the schools serve all of their students well, using performance on state proficiency tests as the benchmarks. For those schools that made it past the first two steps, a third step assessed the degree to which schools prepare students for college-level work.
