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.
