Newsweek has ranked Stone Bridge and Briar Woods as the #237 and #395 high schools in the country. Broad Run was not ranked.

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 Briar Woods' and Stone Bridge's rankings, and every other ranked high school by clicking on the markers in the interactive map above.

Both schools had a 98 percent graduation rate. Ninety-seven percent of Stone Bridge graduates go on to college, compared with 94 percent from Briar Woods. Both schools perform well on SATs as well, with students earning 1633 on average at Stone Bridge and 1645 at Briar Woods.

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.
