The Hunger Games of High School: Who Wins in Georgia?
So you're a soon-to-be high schooler in the Peach State, and the pressure is on to snag a spot at the top-ranked school. But with more contenders than a peach cobbler competition, where do you even begin? Fear not, my friend, for I, your friendly neighborhood oracle (with way too much time on my hands), have delved into the mystical world of high school rankings to bring you the answer.
Drumroll please... (because apparently silence isn't suspenseful enough these days)
The coveted title of #1 High School in Georgia, according to U.S. News & World Report, belongs to the Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science and Technology (GSMST). Yes, that's a mouthful, but hey, maybe all that extra knowledge spills over into their cafeteria food? Just a hunch.
But wait! There's more! (Insert dramatic music here)
GSMST isn't just the king (or queen) of the Georgia high school castle, it also snagged a spot in the top 10 nationally. Now that's some serious bragging rights material.
Tip: Rest your eyes, then continue.

So, what makes GSMST so darn special?
Well, for starters, they boast a graduation rate of near perfection (like a student who can actually parallel park... a rare sight these days). Plus, their students are AP (Advanced Placement) exam champions, with nearly everyone taking at least one and most acing it. Basically, they're like multiplication whizzes who can also write a killer essay on the philosophical underpinnings of the American Revolution. No big deal.
But here's the thing, GSMST might be the Michael Phelps of Georgia high schools, but that doesn't mean it's the right fit for everyone. Maybe you're more of a Shakespearean sonnet kind of student than a quadratic equation enthusiast. The good news is, Georgia has a plethora of other fantastic high schools, each with its own unique strengths.
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.
