Lassiter is the seventh-best public high school in Georgia and the 311th-best in the nation, according to an analysis of 21,776 high schools released today by U.S. News World Report.
Basically, the magazine tried to identify the schools where students, top to bottom, performed better than expected, based on the racial, ethnic and economic makeup of the student body and compared with other schools in the state.
U.S. News then took the best schools from every state except Nebraska (not enough data), plus the District of Columbia, and rated them on college readiness, based on Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate tests. The data come from the 2009-10 school year.
You can read all about the three-step methodology if you want details.
