LITTLE SILVER — Red Bank Regional High School (RBR) was recognized as one of the best high schools in the nation according to U.S. News & World Report, which released its 2016 rankings April 19. RBR received Silver Medal status, ranking in the top 10 percent of high schools in the nation.
U.S. News & World Report teamed with the social science research firm, RTI International, to produce this year’s rankings, which utilized a four-step process. Reading and math results as well as the performance of economically disadvantaged students were compared to students of other schools, and a minimum graduation rate using information from those enrolled as ninth graders was considered along with a college-readiness index based on students’ enrollment and results of Advanced Placement tests or the International Baccalaureate Program.
“Our staff and administration have worked tirelessly over the past decade to provide all our students access to the highest and most challenging course work we offer while providing them the necessary supports to succeed. We are gratified that our efforts are showcased by this accolade as well as the many others that RBR has received,” said RBR Principal Risa Clay in a press release.
