What Makes a High School Great?Posted on Wednesday 2 August 2006 at 11:42 AM in Homeschooling - Post CommentNewsweek has made a list of the top 1,200 high schools across the country (click here to read the article and see the list). Since I'm originally from Michigan, and now living in Indiana, I thought I would go through the list and see what schools were on the list from Michigan and Indiana. I liked seeing lots of schools from Michigan making the list, but being from Michigan I also know that most of these schools are located in affluent areas. $$$ does make a difference...at least in Michigan. Detroit school officials have been saying this for years. I'm not familliar enough with Indiana. Here are the Michigan and Indiana high schools and their rank in the list:Rank School Location State 9 Int'l Academy Bloomfield Hills Mich. 54 Signature School Evansville Ind. 55 Black River Holland Mich. 223 Andover Bloomfield Hills Mich. 302 Grosse Pointe S G.P.
