JCIB – Public Elite High School

Ian A. Barnes — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 15:22:55 +0000

Many folks were eagerly awaiting to see if JCIB would reclaim the top spot in Newsweek’s annual ranking of the nation’s top High School. To the shock of some, JCIB was nowhere to be found. Instead, Newsweek created a new category of schools called Public Elites.

Some schools didn’t make the list because their students are too good. The best of the best. Newsweek’s Challenge Index is designed to recognize schools that challenge average students, and not magnet or charter schools that draw only the best students in their areas. These top performers were excluded from the list of top high schools because, despite their exceptional quality, their sky high SAT and ACT scores indicate they have few or no average students.

Seventeen schools have been classified as “Public Elite” schools. JCIB is described as

A small school on the edge of Birmingham where students begin taking AP Courses in the 10th grade and add IB courses to schedules as Juniors and Seniors.

Congratulations to all JCIB teachers, staff and to Linda Jones for continuing to lead the way!!!
