Oak Ridge High School has been ranked sixth-best in Tennessee in the 2013 edition of U.S. News and World Report’s Best High Schools.

Oak Ridge was also No. 6 last year.

The Top 4 were also the same this year. Located in or near Nashville, the schools are Hume-Fogg Academic Magnet High School and Martin Luther King Jr. Academic Magnet High School, both in Nashville; Merroll Hyde Magnet School in Hendersonville; and Brentwood High School in Brentwood.

Ravenwood High School in Brentwood replaced Farragut High School in the No. 5 spot this year.

Oak Ridge school officials pointed out that the Top 3 schools are magnet schools and the next two are located in what could be the highest-income county in the state, meaning the demographics could be much different than they are in Oak Ridge.

More information will be added as it becomes available.
