Renton high schools ranked near or below the state average for reading, math and college readiness.

The U.S. News & World Report ‘Best High School Rankings’ are out, and Renton schools were unranked in the report and ranked near or below the state average for most categories with the exception of Hazen High School, which performed above average in math.

U.S. News & World Report teamed up with the Washington, D.C.-based American Institutes for Research, a behavioral and social science research organization, to evaluate 21,776 public high schools in 49 states and the District of Columbia. The researchers awarded schools gold, silver, or bronze medals based on a number of factors including state proficiency standards and students’ preparedness for college. 

While the report is dated 2012, it is based on data from the 2009-2010 school year.
