Roswell, Centennial Not Ranked Among Best High Schools

Both of Roswell's public high schools were unranked in the coveted annual Best High Schools Rankings by U.S. News & World Report, but nearby schools were named best in Georgia.

Roswell and Centennial high schools did not achieve a ranking by the magazine, which requires that a school must be awarded a national gold or silver medal to receive a state ranking. Milton, Alpharetta and Johns Creek were also unranked.

Of the Georgia schools ranked during 2012 for the U.S. News Best High Schools, only two were in North Fulton: Northview High School in Johns Creek (#4 in Georgia, #219 in U.S.) and Riverwood International Charter School in Sandy Springs (#5 in Georgia, #291 in U.S.). Other nearby schools which made the top 10 state ranking list included:

• Walton High School in Marietta (#3 in Georgia, #191 in U.S.)
• Lassiter High School in Marietta (#7 in Georgia, #311 in U.S.)
