Huntsville’s New Century Tech High School and Mountain Brook High School remained in second and third, as well.
Many of the schools also were highly-ranked last year. Most also are in cities and suburbs and have higher numbers of white students than the state average population.
“Families can use the Best High Schools rankings to see how schools compare at the national, state and local level on factors like graduation rates and college readiness,” said Anita Narayan, managing editor of education at U.S. News. “The rankings also provide insight into academic performance among underserved groups showing how well schools are supporting these students.”
