NEWSWEEK LISTS AHS AMONG NATION'S 'TOP SCHOOLS'
Editors at Newsweek magazine have added Aurora High School to its annual published list of the nation's 'Top 1500' schools.

Newsweek editor Jay Matthews informed AHS principal Pat Ciccantelli and Superintendent Russ Bennett that AHS ranks #331 on the magazine's prestigious list of the best high schools. With an index score of 2.520 this year, Aurora ranks #3 among 12 area high schools selected for recognition on Newsweek's list of 'Top Schools.'

AHS moved to #331 from its Newsweek ranking at #529 last year, based on a formula that includes a ratio of International Baccalaureate and Cambridge tests taken by all students in the school, divided by the number of graduating seniors.

The Newsweek ranking is based on 223 Aurora High School students completing 562 tests this year--431 Advanced Placement tests and 131 IB tests.
