Garfield, Roosevelt included in 'America's Best High Schools'
     Garfield High School and Roosevelt High School were included in U.S. News & World Report's rankings of America's Best High Schools. Garfield and Roosevelt were recognized as Silver Medal schools. The Silver Medal is given to schools that register a college readiness index of at least 20 but are not ranked in the top 100 nationally. U.S. News analyzed more than 21,000 public high schools in 48 states and the District of Columbia.
     In a separate article last June, Newsweek magazine named Ingraham and Garfield high schools to the magazine's top 1,500 public U.S. high schools in academics. Ingraham High made the magazine's 2009 listing for the first time, placing 940th, while Garfield made the list for the fifth straight year, placing 497th.
