Glenwood High School Earns Silver Medal Designation by U.S. News and World Report
U.S. News just released its fourth edition of the Best High Schools rankings, and Glenwood High School is shown ranked 61st out of 672 public high schools in Illinois and number 1659 out of 21,776 public high schools nationally, earning it a silver medal designation. The list for Illinois can be accessed online at http://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/illinois/rankings.According to U.S. News, the Best High Schools rankings are determined by first analyzing how well students in each school performed on state assessments. High schools that made it through this analysis were then eligible to be ranked nationally, in terms of college readiness. The degree to which schools prepare students for college-level work is determined by analyzing student success in Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) programs, both of which include college-level courses.
