Pattonville named among Newsweek's Top STEM High Schools in U.S. |
Friday, November 8, 2019 |
Pattonville High School has been named one of Newsweek’s Top STEM High Schools in America, honoring its excellence in teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Newsweek announced its top schools on Nov. 8 to coincide with National STEM Day.
In Missouri, only 81 public and private high schools made Newsweek's list. There are 584 public and charter high schools in the state, and Pattonville is ranked No. 16 out of the 45 public/charter schools to receive the recognition. The list includes schools in every region of the country that offer skilled teachers who keep up with developments in these fields and who create dynamic learning environments to engage their students.
The top 5,000 schools were curated from STEM.org Educational ResearchTM (SER) using a proprietary scoring logic that took into consideration a broad set of quantitative and qualitative data inputs collected from Q2 2015–Q3 2019. The purpose was to determine which primary/secondary institutions in America best offer students experiences in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) - as defined by the Congressional Research Service - while preparing them for postsecondary outcomes. Additional factors, including affluence and median household income, were taken into consideration in compiling the rankings.
