U.S. News & World Report released its annual rankings of 24,000 public high schools with Oakland County’s International Academy again among the top 50 nationwide.
International Academy, a consortium which has about 1,500 students who reside in 13 Oakland County school districts including Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Huron Valley and South Lyon, ranked third in Michigan and 43rd nationwide.
Also ranking in the top 10 in Michigan were Novi High School at #7 and Northville High School, #10.
“Part of the reason we do well on rankings like this is that all of our students and families understand when they enroll in ninth grade that we are an all International Baccalaureate high school,” Associate Principal Chris Smith said. “It’s highly rigorous, the most challenging program a student in the United States can sign up for in high school… It attracts students who are highly motivated for an academic program.”
