The Shopper Bowie High School Named a U.S. News and World Report Best High Schools in America Award Winner U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in education rankings, announced the 2017 Best High Schools. The rankings identify the topperforming public high schools at the national and state level and include published data on more than 22,000 schools in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Schools were awarded gold, silver or bronze medals based on their performance on state assessments and how well they prepare students for college. The U.S. News rankings highlight public schools that best serve all of their students, including disadvantaged populations. Overall, the rankings focus on student outcomes with an emphasis on graduation rates and state proﬁciency tests. Students at the schools that receive national recognition from U.S. News graduate at rates that are 15 percent higher, on average, than students at schools nationwide that are not ranked. Awards are determined by comparing reading and math results for each state’s proﬁciency tests. The percentage of economically disadvantaged and minority students are also factored into the results. From the statewide results, schools that were performing better than state averages were selected. In order to be selected, each school must also exceed the national graduation standard. Schools are also measured by a college readiness standard based on their students’ results. Only 2.4 % of public high schools in America received the Gold Medal Award. Only 10.3% received the Silver Medal Award, and only 16.8% of public high schools in the United States earned the Bronze Medal Award. "It is critical that students graduate from high school to put them on a successful path to college and a career," said Anita Narayan, managing editor of Education at U.S. News. "We encourage parents to use the data included in the 2017 Best High Schools rankings to help make informed decisions about their children's education." Bowie High School has been named as a Bronze Medal Award winner as a “Best Public High School in America.” We are very proud of our students, staﬀ, and school district!!!
