U.S. News: 4 West Michigan schools among top 20 in state, best in nation

Share

U.S News and World Report released its best 500 high schools nationwide and four West Michigan high schools are among the top 20 in Michigan.  According to the magazine’s latest edition, Excel Charter Academy-Grand River Prep School on 52nd Street in Grand Rapids was ranked #2 in the state and #169 nationally. Grand Rapids Public Schools’ City Middle/High School was fifth in the state and #322 nationally. The school’s high reading proficiency rate was one of the strongest among the top schools in Michigan despite having the largest student-to-teacher ratio, according to U.S. News calculations. Black River Public School in Holland was ranked seventh in the state and #374 nationally, while Forest Hills Central High School was listed as 16th in the state and #618 in the nation. U.S. News and World Report ranks schools based on state testing performance, student-to-teacher ratio, academic achievement by minority students and performance on college-prep Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate (IB) classes.
