Palm Harbor Univ. High Makes Newsweek’s Top 2,000 High Schools

Palm Harbor University High (PHUH) parents and students have reason to be proud. Both of the high school made it on Newsweeks’ Top 2,000 list of the best high schools in the country.

Schools selected for the honor are “those that have proven to be the most effective in turning out college-ready grads,” the magazine’s website says. Honorees are judged on such factors as graduation rate, college acceptance rate and test scores.

PHUH was 407th on the list of 2,000. The top school in the state is the International Baccalaureate School at Bartow High. The No. 1 school in the nation, according to Newsweek, is in Bowling Green , Ky.

Other area schools on the list include Alonso, Plant and Sickles.
