Fox Ranks as One of Missouri's Best High Schools
That's according to the U.S. News and World Report, which listed Fox Senior High School as the 26th best high school in the state.
Fox Senior High School made the 2013 list of top-ranked Missouri schools released by U.S. News & World Report on Tuesday.
The magazine placed Fox as No. 26 in its report of 2013 Best High Schools Rankings. Last year, the high school gained a bronze medal but didn't place among the state's top echelon.
U.S. News collaborated with the American Institutes for Research, a D.C.-based organization, to rank student performance on such criteria as state-mandated assessments, how the schools educated minority or poor students, and performance on advanced placement exams in order to develop the rankings.
