US News and World Report ranks DLHS as one of country's best!
In May, the US News and World Report released its rankings of America's best high schools. Detroit Lakes High School was given a silver ranking on a gold, silver, bronze rating scale. Within the silver designation, the US News and World Report ranking DLHS in the top 8% of all the high schools in the nation. Further, it ranked DLHS 49th out of the over 500 high schools in the state of Minnesota. Again, that places DLHS in the upper 8% of the high schools in the state.
The rankings of the high schools as conducted by US News is based upon the individual high school's performance on their required state assessments. In Minnesota, that would be the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA's). Other criteria for the ranking is the individual school's graduation rate, and the participation in Advanced Placement program.
"We are so pleased with the silver designation from US News and World Report," said Superintendent Doug Froke. "This is no doubt a collaborative effort of students, staff and parents."
