Needham, MA Schools In the Top 20 Boston Magazine Sept. 2010
Grab the September issue of Boston Magazine where you will find more details and actual rankings. There you will find that Needham High School has been ranked in the top 20 High Schools. To quote the Superintendent of Schools Dan Gutekanst, “I am not surprised that Needham High School has been recognized for its academic excellence, emphasis on developing te social and emotional skills of its students, and the wonderful contribution of service Needham students make to the local and global communities,” he told Needham Patch.
The rankings are determined by evaluating MCAS and SAT scores, per pupil spending, student to teacher ratio, graduation rate and percent of students who continue into college. The breadth of extracurricular at schools, such as sports teams and clubs, was also examined across the region. After data was collected, it was analyzed and tallied by George Recck, director of Math Resource Center at Babson College.
