BJ scored 95.61 and JC a razor close 95.07 out of 100 in the study’s 6-point scale measuring college readiness, curriculum breadth, state assessment proficiency and performance, underserved student performance and graduation rate.
You will be proud to know that BJ and JC landed in the top four percentile of the 17,840 high schools ranked by the U.S. News and World Report study. Bob Jones ranked 784th nationally and JC 879th nationally. The study actually reviewed 24,000 high schools and assessed rankings to 17,840.

The statewide rankings placed BJHS at 6th and JCHS 7th in Alabama. The study last year listed JCHS 7th and BJHS 8th.
The U.S. News and World Reports analysis looked at college readiness, AP (Advanced Placement) participation and scores, math/reading proficiency, graduation rates and other indicators to rank the schools.
The report is the latest among a variety of studies looking at school excellence, with nearly all listing the district and individual schools among the best. See how individual MCS schools fared in a recent NICHE study.
