Colleyville Heritage leads Tarrant schools on list

From the Star-Telegram

Colleyville Heritage is the highest-ranked high school in Tarrant County, according to Newsweek magazine, which this week came out with its list of the country's top 1,200 high schools. Fort Worth's Diamond Hill-Jarvis High School, which was ranked No. 95 last year, fell to 209.

The Newsweek rankings recognize schools that best prepare students for college, based on the number of graduating seniors taking Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate tests. Two Dallas magnet schools -- School for the Talented and Gifted and School of Science and Engineering -- were named the top two in the nation. Irving's North Hills High School was No. 13 and Highland Park was No. 14.
