Partial list of favorite high schools
A friend asked me for a list of the best schools to visit. Here’s some of my favorite high schools, each with unique attributes and benefits:
Great applied STEM (diverse but moderately low poverty)
· High Tech High , San Diego
· Denver School of Science & Technology
Blended: applied STEM + online (diverse moderate poverty)
· NYC iSchool (eSchoolNews summary), only 9th grade but good early example of blending applied and online learning
High poverty, International Baccalaureate
· Uplift Education , Dallas TX
· IDEA Public Schools , Rio Grande valley
High performing, low income, and replicating
· Any KIPP
· Bronx Lab, best of the ISA network
High performing, interesting (but a little selective)
· Match Charter Public School, Boston, MatchCorp: residential tutors
· Boston Arts (or Fenway next door, flagships of CES network)
Alternative/Personalized
· Maya Angelou, DC (See Forever Foundation)
· Seed Academy, DC, a residential school (should have one in every urban area)
· Big Picture (flagship in Providence) and cousins Envision and BAEO
· Kunskapsskolan (personalized Swedish network)
High performing private, good EdTech example
· Cary academy
