[quote=Anonymous]"Once again, Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Fairfax County, Virginia, has been named the No. 1 high school in the U.S.

Senior data analyst with U.S. News & World Report Eric Brooks said some of the things that put Thomas Jefferson on top include a nearly 100% graduation rate, and the fact that every senior took advanced placement exams and got a score of three or higher.

Nine of the top 10 ranked schools in Virginia are in Northern Virginia. The reason is Virginia schools have relatively balanced numbers of students testing as proficient in reading and math, but school districts, such as Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William and Loudoun counties, graduate students who are about 80% to 90% proficient in the subject areas.

Schools that made the top 25 in Virginia from Fairfax County include Langley, McLean, Marshall, W. T. Woodson, Chantilly, Oakton, Madison, West Springfield, Robinson, Lake Braddock and Centreville.

Yorktown in Arlington County; George Mason in Falls Church; Battlefield, Patriot in Prince William County and Osbourn Park in Manassas; and Briar Woods in Loudoun County also made the top 25."[/quote]
