Great news from the Columbia Heights’ listserv:

Fourteen Washington-area high schools are ranked among the 100 best in the nation by Newsweek.
To make the list, schools had to challenge students with advanced placement college-level courses and tests.
Just 6 percent of all public schools in the nation are on the list.
Here are the local high schools and their rankings in the top 100:

H.B. Woodlawn in Arlington – 27
Richard Montgomery in Rockville – 33
Bell Multicultural in D.C. – 37
