Two Harmony Science Academy High Schools (Dallas and Austin) were ranked among the top public high schools in the nation, according to a recent analysis by Newsweek.

Newsweek announced  Best High Schools in America list yesterday. The magazine has been ranking the nation's top 500 public high schools for more than a decade. The rankings are based on graduation rates, college enrollments upon graduation, the percentage of students who take tests for advanced placement courses, and the average college entrance exam scores, among other criteria.

This year, Newsweek studied more than 1,000 top schools to determine the best of the best: the ones producing kids ready for college and life. Harmony Public Schools is proud to have two schools among the top 500 schools in the nation!

In addition to the Best High Schools in America list, Newsweek created an additional list of high-performing schools, labeling them as the "TOP TEN MIRACLE SCHOOLS".  And two of those six are Harmony Schools!
