For the fourth consecutive year, Bethpage High School has been ranked
among America’s Top 500 High School’s for 2016 by Newsweek magazine.
Among the thousands of schools considered, Bethpage High School ranked
No. 305 in the nation and jumped more than 100 places in the ranks since
last year. Newsweek evaluates schools on a range of criteria to
identify those that excel at preparing students for college and to
identify schools within each state that have the highest academic
achievement.
Information for consideration included SAT/ACT scores, Advanced
Placement enrollment, graduation rate and the college enrollment rate
for a district. For the 2016 graduating class, Bethpage boasts a 100%
graduation rate, a 99% Regents diploma rate, a 67% Regents Diploma with
Advanced Designation rate and 97.3% of students attending a two- or
four-year school.
“Bethpage is proud to once again be included among the finest high
schools in America,” said Superintendent of Schools Terrence Clark. “It
reflects a K-12 program where teachers, parents, students and staff all
collaborate to create a nurturing environment that values academic
success. We thank and congratulate them all for this honor.”
