CALIFORNIA Thousands of public California high schools have been ranked by U.S. News and World Report in the publication s latest analysis of upper school education in the United States, revealing the top schools across the state and beyond.
This year s Best High Schools list ranks more than 24,000 public high schools throughout the country.

Children deserve to be welcomed into the world of knowledge. There is no reason why rigorous study cannot be laced with fun. I imagine schools of the future as circular rather than hierarchical, community-nourished rather than individualistic. We can reimagine teaching and learning from art forms that have been regenerated through community process. For example, the art of Capoeira happens in a roda, or in the round. It is knit together through intergenerational relationships and performed through movement and call and response singing. Capoeiristas learn the history and geography from improvising in a ritual structure. Our bodies skim the floor and become airborne through spins and inversions, all this during healthful teaching and learning.

Even so, Valerie Castro is keeping her twin daughters, second graders, at home. We have been fairly conservative with our COVID precautions. We rarely go out, Castro said. Like, I remember at one point I went to Barnes and Noble and walked around for half an hour..and my husband was like, Oh my god that was so risky.
Castro worried about spreading the virus to her in-laws, who they see fairly regularly, with social distancing and mask protocols in place. Plus, she said, her daughters have already done pretty well in distance learning and have each other for company.
