National Magazine Says White Cloud

One of Nation's Best High Schools

 

  White Cloud High School has been named one of the nation's best high schools in a recent study by U.S. News & World Report .

U.S. News & World Report - in collaboration with School Evaluation Services, a K-12 education and data research and analysis business that provides parents with education data - analyzed academic and enrollment data from more than 21,000 public high schools to find the very best across the country.

These top schools were placed into gold, silver, bronze, or honorable mention categories.

White Cloud High School earned a Bronze Medal for successfully meeting two of the three key performance indicator criteria.

U.S. News uses a three-step process that analyzes first how schools are educating all of their students, then their minority and disadvantaged students, and finally their college-bound students.

One major challenge all of the nation's best public high schools are facing is how to continue to challenge students despite budget pressures, the report noted.
