Coe-Brown Earns Bronze Award In National High School Ranking
Northwood, NH: U.S. News & World Report, in collaboration with
School Evaluation Services (a K-12 education and data research and
analysis business that provides parents with education data),
analyzed academic and enrollment data from more than 21,000 public
high schools to find the very best across the country. These top
schools were placed into gold, silver, bronze, or honorable mention
categories. Coe-Brown Northwood Academy earned a bronze award and
was among eight New Hampshire high schools listed. Coe-Brown’s
outstanding performance on state achievement tests was one of the
factors that helped it secure this ranking.
This is the third year that U.S. New & World Report has compiled its
rankings of U.S. high schools.
