We're No. 358! LBHS Moves Up in National Best High Schools Ranking

Laguna Beach High fares well in the annual list compiled by U.S. News and World Report.

U.S. News & World Report released its annual list of the nation's best schools today, and Laguna Beach High wound up at #358.

Quite an accomplishment, since LBHS finished at #589 on last year's survey. That's a jump of over 200 spots.

That figure may not sound too impressive, but it's noteworthy considering that the publication reviewed 21,035 public high schools, through data collected via the U.S. Department of Education and other sources. (Click here to read how they compiled the rankings.)
