In addition to the our #1 rankings, we also came in at #11 (out of 326) as Best High Schools for Athletes. School size is not delineated in this decision, making our high ranking even more remarkable, as we were measured equally against the largest schools in the state. Our history of athletic success has set us apart from others for years, and we appreciate that the Niche rankings reflect that.
