South Side Named to Newsweek's Best High Schools List

South Side in Rockville Centre has recently been named to Newsweek's America's Best High Schools list.

South Side, which according to Newsweek has an average SAT score of 1639, was ranked 84 out of 500 schools mentioned.

According to their website, each school’s score is comprised of six components: graduation rate (25 percent), college matriculation rate (25 percent), AP tests taken per graduate (25 percent), average SAT/ACT scores (10%), average AP/IB/AICE scores (10 percent), and AP courses offered (5 percent).

Newsweek has been compiling this list for over a decade and has enlisted a panel of experts to help create a formula for calculating the success of a high school.
