ALVA ranked among Alabama's best high schools

Originally published on AL.com - July 12, 2021

Loveless Academic Magnet School, Mountain Brook High School and New Century Tech High School are consistently ranked among Alabama’s best.

That doesn’t mean other metros in the state also don’t also have great schools. U.S. News and World Report recently released 2021 rankings of the top high schools in each of Alabama’s 26 metro areas.

Some of Alabama’s high schools are not located in a metro area, so these rankings only considered 286 out of the 374 high schools in the entire state. Criteria included measures related to college readiness and achievement, as well as how underserved students fared at the school compared to their non-underserved peers.

U.S. News released statewide rankings of all schools in April. Here’s where you can find the whole country’s metro-area rankings.
