Council Rock High School North in Newtown Township and Lower Moreland High School lead a list of high schools in Bucks and Montgomery counties ranked among the top 50 in Pennsylvania by U.S. News and World Report.
Council Rock North finished 13th in the 2013 state rankings (610 nationally) and Lower Moreland ninth (478 nationally).All three Central Bucks high schools made the top 50 in the state. Central Bucks West was 26 (887 nationally), CB East 27 (905 nationally) and CB South 33 (1,071 nationally).
Others in the state top 50 from Montgomery County were Wissahickon at 24 (767 nationally), Upper Dublin at 28 (920 nationally), Plymouth-Whitemarsh at 31 (969 nationally) and North Penn at 46 (1,450 nationally).
According to the U.S. News and World Report website, the magazine analyzed 21,035 public high schools in 49 states and the District of Columbia and ranked them both by state and how they stacked up nationwide. The rankings were a collaborative effort between the magazine and the Washington, D.C.-based American Institutes for Research.
The rankings took into account many factors, including how well the schools served all their students — not just high achievers — state proficiency test scores and how well the schools prepared their students for college level work.
“We’re extremely proud of Council Rock North and its accomplishments,” said Council Rock Superintendent Mark Klein. “It’s a great school.”
Central Bucks Superintendent Rodney Green had similar thoughts about all three high schools in his district making the top 50 in the state.
“We are excited that our CB high schools were recognized for outstanding achievement in the U.S. News and World Report rankings,” Green said. “We have great students, great staff and great parents who work together to provide outstanding education to our students. We appreciate our community and the high expectations they have for our schools. We will continue to strive for success for all of our students.”
Morrisville High School and Harry S. Truman High School in Bristol Township were also recognized with a note next to both schools that they are “recognized nationally” and have been awarded bronze medals.
“U.S. News and World Report awarded gold, silver and bronze medals based on students’ performance on state exit exams and their mastery of college level material,” a note in the magazine’s rankings said.

What's the secret CRN ?
Socioeconomic makeup of their student body.
Something good gets posted and it gets 2 comments, but the threads about our lovely mayor or any other miscreants get so many more. Why do you suppose that is?
Because unless ALL SDs in PA were included in the rankings this award really means nothing.
Doesn't answer the F#@*king question though, does it?
The bad gets more comments because people get fired up and passionate when jerks to jerky things. It really gets people ticked and emotional when jerks do jerky things. They gum up the works. They put sand in the gears. They destroy community bonds. It's infuriating.
That being said, I am very pleased and proud that Morrisville was recognized in this positive way. It means something to me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Jack Buckman wants to publicize the bronze medal. Are you saying Jack Buckman is wrong because it means nothing?
I thought Jack Buckman was always wrong. I can't keep up here. Somebody tell me how to feel!!!
I also think the third comment was more rhetorical than a question actually seeking a real answer.
The observation is still a valid one.
