WASHINGTON, D.C. – Washington Post columnist, Jay Matthews, recently ranked high schools on the national level for the America’s Most Challenging High Schools list.
Among those ranked, Brevard had 10 high schools make the list.
According to Matthews’ article, he “ranks schools through an index formula that’s a simple ratio: the number of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and Advanced International Certificate of Education tests given at a school each year, divided by the number of seniors who graduated that year. A ratio of 1.000 means the school had as many tests as graduates.”
Below are the rankings of Brevard high schools out of 211 schools within the state of Florida:
• Edgewood Jr./Sr. High School, Ranked 12
• West Shore Jr./Sr. High School, Ranked 17
• Cocoa Beach Jr./Sr. High School, Ranked 39
