Four high schools from Montgomery County have made it onto the Newsweek’s America’s Top High Schools listing for 2016, once more confirming the high quality of education in the area.

Newsweek assessed schools across the country based on a number of criteria, among them their student retention, counselor-student ratio, graduation rates, college enrollment rates, as well as poverty rates.

Lower Moreland High School in Huntingdon Valley cracked the top 200 schools by placing 196th, with a 1.09 student retention score and 1663 average for SAT’s. This is a nearly one hundred places above last year’s ranking, when it came in at 290th.

Spring-Ford Area High School in Royersford came in at 306th, followed closely by Upper Dublin High School in Fort Washington at 330th.

Upper Dublin also appeared on the last year’s list, but has slipped from 208th to 330th.

Souderton Area High School in Souderton also made it onto the list this year at No. 439th, with its impressive 100 score for graduation and 0.95 in student retention.
