For the second consecutive year, Gleason High School in
Weakley County has been named to the 2009 U.S. News and
World Report list of America’s best high schools.
U.S. News and
World Report analyzed academic and enrollment data from more
than 21,000 public high schools to find the best across the
country and placed them into gold, silver, bronze and
honorable mention categories. Gleason High won in the bronze
category.
“We have an
outstanding faculty and staff,” said Gleason Principal Randy
Frazier. “Our students have done a good job in class
concentration on what needs to be done for us to
attain the scores.
“The students have
really focused on achieving well on these tests,” he added. |

According to an
analysis by School Evaluation Services - a K-12 education
and date research analysis business - a best high school is
one that succeeds at standardized test performance,
proficiency rates of all students, including the least
advantaged, and challenging college-ready curriculum.
A bronze metal
recognizes high schools that meet the first two criteria of
the methodology.
Another testimony
to the school’s outstanding effort be-came evident in
December when the Tennessee Department of Education named
Gleason High the 2009 State Recipient for the Title I
Distinguished School in Exceptional Student Performance.
“The Distinguished
Schools program is an opportunity for Tennessee to tell the
world we have some incredible schools,” said Karen P. Munn,
project director.
