Newsweek has ranked all four Glenbard High School District 87 schools among high schools in the country. Glenbard West and Glenbard South high schools were No. 581 and No. 752, respectively, and Glenbard North and Glenbard East were No. 1,203 and No. 1,650, respectively.

For its rankings, Newsweek sent out a survey to more than 5,000 high schools in the U.S., with about 2,500 schools responding in 2013. You can see the details about Wheaton North's ranking, and every other ranked high school by clicking on the markers in the interactive map above.

The survey scores were then weighted and calculated using several criteria including on-time graduation and college acceptance rates. In addition, instead of averaging the number of courses offered, this year Newsweek considered the percentage of students enrolled in AP, IB or Advance International Certificate courses. The final scores then determined Newsweek’s final rankings.
