Four Dallas high schools and one in Grand Prairie were named in the top 85 of the list, with three Big D schools landing in the top 30.
The rankings were based on analyzed data from 25,000 schools in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Schools were judged on several criteria, including “their performance on state assessments and how well they prepare students for college.” Traditional schools as well as charter, magnet and STEM high schools were surveyed.
The School for the Talented and Gifted in Dallas was named as the state’s top high school in the report. “Being the number one high school in Texas and sixth nationally is a great accomplishment,” said Arnoldo Zuniga, TAG principal, in a statement. “The recognition is due to the tireless effort of our teachers, students, and parents, which allows students not only to only succeed academically, but more importantly, allows students to develop their own path towards future success.”
Other Texas high schools in Houston, Austin, San Antonio and Brownsville made appearances in the Top 100, but none from Collin, Denton or Tarrant counties did.
