Bayport-Blue Point Ranked 160th Among U.S. High Schools

Local high school included on Newsweek's new list of America's Top Schools.

Bayport-Blue Point High School has been named of the best high schools in the U.S., ranking No. 160 on Newsweek’s recently released list of America’s Top Schools, earning this distinction with an 89.54 college readiness score and 96.6 percent graduation rate. More than 14,000 schools were considered in the annual ranking.

“In recent years, Bayport-Blue Point High School has made a push towards self-selection, thereby encouraging students to take the most rigorous courses that they feel they can handle,” said Principal Dr. Gaurav Passi. “This recognition by Newsweek magazine comes at a time when more and more high school students are taking Advanced Placement and other college preparatory courses. We are proud of our students for challenging themselves and proud of our teachers for guiding and supporting our students towards success in these rigorous courses.”
