2 schools ranked in nation's top 100
U.S. News & World Report has released a survey that ranks two Eastside schools among the nation's top 100 public high schools.
Kirkland's International Community School is ranked 17th on the list, and Newport High School is 44th.
The Kirkland school, which is part of Lake Washington School District, serves 380 students in seventh through 12th grade.
Newport High School, in the Bellevue district, serves about 1,570 students in ninth through 12th grade. About 75 percent of its 12th-graders and 73 percent of its 11th-graders are enrolled in Advanced Placement classes.
The magazine analyzed 18,790 public high schools in 40 states using data from the 2005-06 school year. It looked at reading- and math-test results for all students on each state's standardized high-school test, and it also took into account how disadvantaged students performed on the test.
