Newsweek names CKHS, Peninsula in Gig Harbor to top schools list
Newsweek released its annual list of the top high schools in the country. Area schools on the list are Central Kitsap High School at #323 and Peninsula High School in Gig Harbor at #1451.
Thirty-four Washington high school made the list. To see the whole list and the story check here.
At #323 CKHS stayed in the same general area it’s been since 2003, when it debuted on the list at #436. At #1451 Peninsula has fallen a bit since it first appeared on the list in 2006.
The rankings are compiled by Washington Post education reporter Jay Matthews and a lot of the “formula” hinges on the number of AP classes students take and pass. Numbers of free and reduced lunch students are also taken into account.
