Owosso High School Ranks in Top 7% of High Schools Nationwide
On
April 22, “U.S. News and World Report,” one the nation’s most reputable
sources for news, shared their findings of the Best High Schools
project which identifies the country’s top-performing public high
schools. Owosso High School was ranked 41st in Michigan and scored 1,440 out of 21,035 schools in the nation, earning the organization’s “Silver” ranking.
According to the report, “A
three-step process determined the Best High Schools. The first two
steps ensured that the schools serve all of their students well, using
performance on state proficiency tests as the benchmarks. For those
schools that made it past the first two steps, a third step assessed the
degree to which schools prepare students for college-level work.”
Although the ranking formula was somewhat complex, it demonstrates
that: 1.) Owosso High School students are performing better than
statistically expected for the average student in the state and 2.)
Owosso High School’s least advantaged students are performing better
than average for similar students in the state when considering math and
reading proficiency ratings. After meeting the first two criteria,
Owosso was eligible to be judged nationally on the final
step--college-readiness performance—using Advanced Placement or
International Baccalaureate test data as the benchmarks for success. The
third step measured high schools that produced the best college-level
achievement for the highest percentages of their students. To view the

Our
mission at Owosso High School along with the International

people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through
