Eastview High School students once again produced some of the highest reading, writing and math scores in the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment (MCA) Tests given to all high school students in the State each year. Additionally, Newsweek Magazine has, for the fourth time in a row, named Eastview High School as one of the nation’s Top High Schools. Every two years Newsweek publishes a list of the nation’s top high schools, based on a “challenge index” developed to measure participation of students in challenging (e.g. Advanced Placement) academic programs.

The importance of Advanced Placement education was revealed by a 1999 U.S. Education Department study that showed the best predictor of college completion was not how good one’s SATs or grades were in high school, but how many difficult courses one took in high school.

Eastview High School continues to have large numbers of students pursuing their academic potential through Advanced Placement coursework. Furthermore, EVHS students are experiencing high degrees of success, measured by the yearly national exams given in each content area. Beyond the significant learning experiences, success in these exams also translates into college credit and thousands of dollars of college tuition money saved for these high performing students. Eastview High School continues to graduate some of the largest numbers of Advanced Placement Scholars (those who pass the AP exams) in the State of Minnesota.

Public schools are ranked according to a ratio called the Challenge Index devised by Jay Mathews: the number of Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate tests taken by all students at a school divided by the number of graduating seniors. Schools that chose more than half of their students by grades or test scores were not considered because the index is designed to identify schools that challenge average students and does not work well with schools that have few or no average students. The schools ranked below have the strongest AP or IB programs in the country. The ranked schools have the strongest Advanced Placement programs in the country. Each of them is in the top four percent of all American high schools measured this way.
