Society The 100 Best High Schools in America The Goal: Never has high school had to do so much for so many. NEWSWEEK unveils the top schools across the country and suggests what others can do to make the grade. Jersey girls: Sophomores at McNair Academic High School in Jersey City, N.J., No. 15 on the list By By Barbara Kantrowitz Newsweek That first school still exists today as English High in the Jamaica Plain section of Boston, its seventh location in 184 years, and its evolution echoes dramatic social changes in thousands of schools around the country. The initial graduates were all white males who studied literature, science, math and history. It's now coed, and this year's 249 seniors are mostly black and Hispanic with ancestors from 30 countries. To meet their needs, the school houses a day-care center for teen parents, a Gay-Straight Alliance, a program to help kids find summer jobs and a social club for the large numbers of students from Somalia-among dozens of other activities. Where once English High was alone in providing a free secondary education, there are now 27,468 public high schools. Assessing such a diverse group is daunting. Newsweek's Best High Schools List uses a ratio, the number of Advanced Placement (AP) and/or International Baccalaureate (IB) tests taken by all students at a school in 2004, divided by the number of graduating seniors. Although that doesn't tell the whole story about a school, it's one of the best measures available to compare a wide range of students' readiness for higher-level work, which is more crucial than ever in the postindustrial age. A generation ago, a high-school diploma gave most workers all they needed to get good jobs, says Larry Rosenstock, CEO of High Tech High in San Diego. "Now a high-school degree doesn't make it as a final, terminal degree. There's been a push to get people to seek further education."

With school starting in two weeks, schools Superintendent Bobby Hathcock said the budget for next year is in good shape. "Our budget looks good," Hathcock said. "We’re getting close." By law, the board must hold two budget hearings before approving the budget. The first hearing was held Tuesday night before the regular board meeting. The second budget hearing will be held Aug. 10, at 5:30 p.m. at Pell City High School before the next regular board meeting. Across the board, the school system will receive an additional $230,342 from the state and an additional $17,530 from the federal government. However, Pell City Schools Custodian of Funds Mara Dyar said the increase in federal funds is not necessarily reflective of a positive change. "We’re still losing federal funding," Dyar said.
