December 1st, 2007 Categories: Education in NJ, Millburn & Short Hills Living
Millburn High School was ranked among the top 100 high schools by U.S. News & World Report.
In their first America’s Best High Schools study published last week, Millburn earned a rank of 97 in a survey of 18,000+ public high schools.
“Using a formula produced in collaboration with School Evaluation Services, a K-12 data research and analysis business run by Standard & Poor’s, we put high schools in 40 states through a three-step analysis.
First, we measured how each school’s students performed on state tests, adjusting for student circumstances. We next evaluated how well each school’s disadvantaged students did.
Finally, we looked at whether the school was successful in providing college-level coursework.”
Three other schools in NJ also earned Gold Medals (Top 100):
# 7Â Â High Technology High School Monmouth County, Lincroft, NJ
