There are several VA high schools in the top 100. Just not fcps.

If you go to their map of the top 100, newsweek states that there are two separate lists. This list used an "equity index" to rank the schools, adjusting for underperforming populations that met or exceeded state minimum standards. Those schools are indicated by a star.


I am sorry I may not be searching correctly but in the other list they have a total of 2 VA high schools, TJ at 24 and Galieleo HS at 358 or something. Couldn't fine any other HS from VA.

These MD schools are in the top 500 and they don't even include MCPS really top 100 students that are equal or better than TJ students because the school MCPS sends them to is Blair which is a large school in a low SES area.

This list is called the "Beating the Odds" list.

Sorry, Newsweek, not USNWR.

You forgot Poolesville at #110, and a couple of non MCPS HS, too.


My mistake about Poolesville, was too busy looking at the Ws. Duh me!
