Stoneham Doesn't Make Newsweek's List of America's Best High Schools 2012

Stoneham High School did not make Newsweek's list of America's Best High Schools 2012, according to a report on The Daily Beast website.

However, nearby Melrose High School ranked 832nd on the top 1,000 American schools listed published by Newsweek.

"This year, our ranking highlights the best 1,000 public high schools in the nation—the ones that have proven to be the most effective in turning out college-ready grads," read the report. "The list is based on six components provided by school administrators: graduation rate (25 percent), college matriculation rate (25 percent), AP/IB/AICE tests taken per student (25 percent), average SAT/ACT scores (10 percent), average AP/IB/AICE scores (10 percent), and AP courses offered per student (five percent)."

According to the report, Melrose's graduation rate is 98 percent, with 92 percent graduation bound. 

Also on the list was Mystic Valley Regional Charter School, which serves Stoneham area students, in Malden. The school ranked 122nd on the list.

The graduation rate and college bound percentages for Mystic Valley Regional Charter School are 100 percent, according to the report.
