The Washington Post released its list of America’s Most Challenging High Schools for 2017, ranking all of Bellevue’s comprehensive high schools in the top 9 percent.  Only about 12 percent of U.S. public and private high schools make the national list.

The rankings are determined through an index formula that is a ratio: the number of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and Advanced International Certificate of Education tests given at a school each year, divided by the number of seniors who graduated that year.

Rankings for Bellevue’s comprehensive high schools are:

Interlake #44
Newport #131
Bellevue #172
Sammamish #194

International School, a choice school, was ranked #64.

For more information about the rankings and to view the complete list visit the Washington Post website.

The Bellevue School District acknowledges that we learn, work, live and gather on the Indigenous Land of the Coast Salish peoples, specifically the Duwamish and Snoqualmie Tribes. We thank these caretakers of this land, who have lived and continue to live here, since time immemorial.
