Two Tucson schools have once again cracked the top 10 list of the best high schools in the country.
BASIS Tucson North and University High School were ranked No. 5 and No. 7, respectively, by U.S. News & World Report.
Add to that a No. 2 ranking for BASIS Scottsdale, and Arizona schools make up nearly a third of the top 10 schools in the country — a feat not accomplished by any other state.
“A good high school education is critical to prepare our future workforce,” said Brian Kelly, editor and chief content officer of U.S. News & World Report. “The 2014 Best High Schools rankings are designed to help families understand the increasing public school options available to them.”
BASIS Tucson North Head of School Julia Toews was thrilled with the ranking, calling it the result of a lot of hard work.
