Ten Broward County Public Schools (nine public high schools and one charter high school) were recognized among Newsweek Magazine’s top high schools in the nation in 2009; Miramar High School was ranked in the top six percent of American public schools. The rankings are derived by adding up the number of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and Cambridge tests taken by students at a school divided by the number of seniors graduating the same year. The data ranking was based on data from the 2007/08 school year.
