RMHS Named Top High School by Boston Magazine

RMHS was ranked 38 in the top 50 high schools in Boston and Boston's suburbs.

 

Boston magazine ranked Reading Memorial High School 38 out of the 50 best high schools in Boston and Boston's suburbs according to a recent article.

Rankings were based on graduation rates, student-teacher ratios, number of extracurriculars and more, the article said. 

"Our rankings were computed by statistician George Recck, director of the Math Resources Center at Babson College. We gathered the most recent available data on area school districts by consulting school officials and websites, as well as the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education," the article stated.

Recck determined the average scores for each catergory and ranked the districts based on a weighted average.

Weston High was voted the top school, with Lexington High and Dover-Sherborn Regional High coming in with a close second and third ranking.

North Reading was named one of the best public school districts in Massachusetts in their September 2011 issue.

Unfortunately, due to a "reporter error," North Reading High School was left off of the list. Boston magazine has apologized profusely and has corrected the list in its on-line publication and is making a correction in their October edition. NRHS is ranked #32 this year, up from the #45 spot in 2010. Jon Bernard, Principal at North Reading High School
