Vanden Ranks Among Top California High Schools
Armijo and Rodriguez miss the cut in a new report rates the best high schools in the state
Vanden was ranked 354th among the Best High Schools in California for 2012, as announced Tuesday by US News and World Report magazine. Armijo and Rodriguez high schools were unranked.
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.
The clear winner was Pacific Collegiate School in Santa Cruz, listed as the best high school in California. Pacific just missed finishing in the top 10 nationally of Best High Schools, ranked number eleven.
