Over the weekend, two Wichita High Schools were named to the list of top-10 public high schools in Kansas in the 2013 rankings of the nation’s best high schools by U.S. News and World Report.

Liberal High School was the only Western Kansas school included in the state’s top ten. Hays High and Garden City from the Western Athletic Conference received bronze awards. Dodge City High received no award. Salina High schools received no award.

Does it surprise you that Liberal was the only Western Kansas school to make the top 10?

Why was no other Western Kansas School in the top 10?

Does it have to do with school funding?  Does it have to do with location?  What do you think? Tell us in the comments section below.

 

The Sumner Academy of Arts and Sciences in Kansas City ranked No. 1 in the state.  The others include Northeast Magnet High School and Maize High of Wichita, Blue Valley North in Overland Park, Blue Valley in Stilwell, Olathe Northwest, Gardner-Edgerton in Gardner, and Liberal, Fort Scott, and Louisburg high schools.
