Newsweek Magazine has named seven Fulton County schools in its annual list of 1,300 top-ranking public high schools in the United States.
Centennial (No. 272), Riverwood (No. 301), Milton (No. 325), Northview (No. 347), Roswell (No. 529), Chattahoochee (No. 530) and Alpharetta (No. 1129) high schools made the list. You can view the report on Newsweek's web site.
Newsweek ranked the schools according to a ratio that takes the total number of 2007 Advanced Placement and/or International Baccalaureate tests divided by the number of graduating seniors.
