Newsweek/Daily Beast created a list of the top America's public high schools based on their ability to produce college-ready students. They looked at six things: graduation rates, college acceptance rates, AP/IB tests taken per student, average SAT/ACT scores, average AP/IB scores and percent of students enrolled in at least one AP/IB course. There were a total of 2,000 schools on the national list.
