Newsweek recently ranked Berkley High School on its list of the top 2,000 high schools in the country.

Berkley High School was ranked at No. 594 in the United States and No. 22 among 82 schools in Michigan that made the magazine's 2013 America's Best High Schools list.

The honor marks the sixth consecutive year BHS made the list.

"We are thrilled with this public recognition again, as it truly represents the depth and breadth of curriculum we provide in each of our classrooms – pre-K through high school,” Berkley School District Superintendent Dennis McDavid said. “We are very proud of our students, teachers, parents, and our community in achieving this national ranking.”

Newsweek sent out a survey to more than 5,000 high schools in the United States, with approximately 2,500 schools responding in 2013. You can see the details about Berkley High School's ranking, and every other ranked high schools 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.
