Grygla School was selected as a ‘bronze’ school among the United States best high schools

U.S. News and World Report based its rankings on a three-step rubric. Step one determined student performance and how it compared to all students in the state using standardized testing. After meeting the first requirement, schools were then scored on whether disadvantaged students were out performing similar student groups throughout the state in math and reading proficiency. Schools that made it past the second step were then rated on the college readiness performance using a College Readiness Index. Only schools that met all three criteria were awarded medal status.

This is an annual award given out based on the information reported to the state (MCA Test Scores) to determine which schools receive the award. Principal Jamie Lunsetter says, “We are very proud of the fact that our staff sets high expectations for our students and that our students have worked very hard to reach those expectations. This honor says a lot about our students, our staff, our families and our communities.”
