U.S. News has released their ‘Best High Schools’ list (national and by state).
4 of the top 5 Maryland schools are in MoCo.
1. Churchill
2. Poolesville
3. Wootton
5. Quince Orchard
Clarksburg comes in 20th. The Maryland state list goes up to 54 and then lists schools in alphabetical order.
Conspicuous by their absence are schools we usually see on these types of lists, like B-CC, Blair, Richard Montgomery, and Whitman.
