America’s Best High Schools 2009

U.S. News Media Group Names 2009 America’s Best High School

Orange: December 22, 2008. Dr. Reza Namin, Superintendent of Ralph C. Mahar Regional School District announced that Ralph C.

Mahar Regional High School has been ranked as one of the 2009 America's Best High School, according to the U.S. News & World

Report.

In its second year, America's Best High Schools has again identified the country's top- performing high schools. The goal

of the project remains the same: provide a clear, unbiased picture of how well public high schools serve all of their students

from the highest achieving to the lowest achieving - in preparing them to demonstrate proficiency in basic skills as well

as readiness for college-level work.

Analysts at SchoolMatters developed the America's Best High School project for special publication in U.S. News & World Report.

This year’s list recognizes more than 1,900 of the best high schools nationwide using three categories of distinction: gold, silver and

bronze. New this year, the list also recognizes 17 schools as “Honorable Mention” schools. These are schools that achieved high levels

of college readiness, but only partially met the rest of the criteria for inclusion.
