A week after receiving recognition from US News and World Report as one of America’s Best High Schools, Millis High School has been recognized by The Washington Post as one of America’s Most Challenging High Schools. The Post created a “Challenge Index” and evaluated over 22,000 public high schools in the nation. This metric was based on the number of students enrolled in college-level classes (in the case of Millis High School, Advanced Placement classes). Schools that had a Challenge Index of 1.0 or greater were included on the list. Only about 12% of the schools assessed by the Post earned the distinction. Millis was ranked 1,704 nationally with a Challenge Index of 1.637. Principal Bob Mullaney said, “Inclusion on the Washington Post’s list demonstrates our core values of academic excellence and pursuing a challenging program of experiences in high school. I am proud that our students are well-prepared and confident to take on the demands of college level work.”
