TCHS 209th among 1,100 US schools
We can take some alumni pride in the accomplishments of the current generation and their teachers. TCHS has placed 209th among 1,100 schools in the USA in the 2011 edition of Newsweek's annual survey.

Check out (click) the graphic to find 98% graduating, 96% headed for college with SAT scores above 1600 on average (most colleges will kill to get such students.)

Each school’s score is comprised of six components: graduation rate (25%), college matriculation rate (25%), AP tests taken per graduate (25%), average SAT/ACT scores (10%), average AP/IB/AICE scores (10%), and AP courses offered (5%).

About 1,00 schools submitted data for consideration. There are somewhere between 15,000 and 19,000 high schools in the US, variously defined according to whether they offer 3, 4 or 6 years of study and other criteria.

Congrats to TCHS!

(It would have been nice if someone had called our attention to this. Time to compile this item: 15 minutes. If you have 15 minutes per month or less, you could be a TCHS Alumni reporter. Interested? Write to the editor.)
