Jefferson Is No. 1; Others in Area Make List – The Post
It is not shocking that D.C. area schools are well-represented in the U.S. News & World Report top 100 (Gold Medal) high schools nor that Thomas Jefferson High is #1.
It included several other schools from the Washington area in the top 100: Walt Whitman High in Bethesda (No. 44), Thomas S. Wootton High in Rockville (No. 54), McLean High (No. 55), Winston Churchill High in Potomac (No. 57), Langley High in McLean (No. 76) and W.T. Woodson High in Fairfax (No. 90).
This is one of the reasons I like living here — good schools and a success oriented culture. By the time my son is high school, we expect to be somewhere in Fairfax County.
For what it is worth, my high school, James Madison in Vienna, was a silver medal school.
