Treasure Coast High Schools Receive Top National Ranking

Our Treasure Coast high schools continue to shine academically. Five of the local schools were highlighted by The Washington Post for outstanding achievement, being named among some of the toughest schools in the nation.

Five Treasure Coast high schools are listed in The Washington Post’s annual national ranking of most challenging high schools. To compile its ranking, the Post divides each school’s college-level tests — such as Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate — given in 2010 with the number of that year’s graduating seniors. Of the five schools getting national ranking, three are in St. Lucie County. Here is a listing of the Treasure Coast schools on this year’s list, followed by the rank they were last year. Lincoln Park Academy: 2014, 171; 2013: 83 Fort Pierce Westwood: 2014, 774; 2013, 621 South Fork High: 2014, 1,002; 2013, 934 Vero Beach High: 2014, 1,261; 2013, 847 Fort Pierce Central: 2014, 1,966; 1,836
