MacArthur High earns Silver medal rating from U.S. News and World Report

Aldine ISD’s MacArthur Senior High School received a Silver medal rating from U.S. News and World Report in the magazine’s recent rating of America’s best high schools.

The Silver medal rating was based on the fact that MacArthur High had a college readiness index of at least 20 but was not ranked in the top 100 high schools nationally.

The magazine analyzed 21,786 public high schools in 48 states plus the District of Columbia. MacArthur High was one of 461 top-performing high schools nationwide to earn Silver medal status.

A year ago, MacArthur High earned Bronze medal status.

“We are proud of this accomplishment, and I want to commend our staff and students for all of their hard work,” said MacArthur Senior High principal Nancy Blackwell. “But, we can’t rest on our laurels and need to continue aiming for the next level.”
