Schreiber High School has been ranked number 38 in New York State and number 233 nationally in U.S. News & World Report’s rankings of the top high schools. Schreiber also received a gold star ranking from the organization for its attention to preparing students for college.
U.S. News evaluated more than 28,000 schools to determine the top public high schools nationally, and in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. U.S. News factored in overall student performance on state-required tests, how effectively schools educated their disadvantaged students and graduation rates, which is a new factor in their methodology for this year’s ranking. Schools were also evaluated on how well they prepared students for college based on participation in and performance on AP and IB exams. Schreiber has an AP participation rate of 75 percent and received a college readiness index of 68.4, resulting in a gold medal distinction among the top high schools.
Schreiber was also ranked among the top schools for STEM education—science, technology, engineering
and mathematics.
“The school district administration is proud to once again be recognized by U.S. News & World Report for having one of the highest achieving high schools in America,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kathleen Mooney. “I commend Principal Pernick and the high school administration and faculty for their commitment to academic excellence, and their close attention to preparing our students for college and their pursuit of a career. Our students should also be lauded for challenging themselves by participating in such demanding coursework.”
“I am always proud when Schreiber is recognized as one of the finest schools in the country,” said Principal Ira Pernick. “This recognition underscores our shared commitment to student achievement.”
