Newsweek Names Lake View High School as Top 2,000 in the Country

The magazine's 2013 rankings came out Monday; see where other Chicago high schools ranked.

Newsweek has ranked Lake View High School as the 1,660th best high school in the country.

For its rankings, Newsweek sent out a survey to more than 5,000 high schools in the U.S., with about 2,500 schools responding in 2013. You can see the details about Lake View High School's ranking, and every other ranked high school by clicking on the markers in the interactive map above.

The survey scores were then weighted and calculated using several criteria including on-time graduation and college acceptance rates. In addition, instead of averaging the number of courses offered, this year Newsweek considered the percentage of students enrolled in AP, IB or Advance International Certificate courses. The final scores then determined Newsweek’s final rankings.
