Dallas Has The Nation's 2 Highest Ranked STEM Schools: Newsweek

Dallas has the nation's top two high schools in America when it comes to science, technology, engineering and mathematics, according to a new ranking.

The Newsweek report, released earlier this month, shows School of Science and Engineering and School for the Talented and Gifted, both in Dallas, are the nation's top ranked STEM schools.

The School of Science and Engineering ranked no.1 and the School for the Talented and Gifted ranked no.2.

Here are all the STEM schools in Dallas that earned a spot on the list:

"With high-profile institutions in big urban areas and small but strong programs across the nation, America’s future in science, technology, engineering and mathematics is in good hands," the report’s researchers said.

Newsweek and STEM.org determined the rankings by utilizing regression analysis to evaluate which primary and secondary institutions in America best offer students quality experience in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, while also preparing them for post-school life.
