Two Cumberland County High Schools Among Top 100 in North Carolina

By Don Chase
With graduations upon us, it's time to take a look at where the high schools in Fayetteville and Cumberland County rank compared to the rest of the state and country.

Graduation is upon us and it’s time to see where Cumberland County schools ranked among the best in North Carolina.

In surfing around a few days ago, I stumbled on a US News and World Report article listing the Best High Schools in the state of North Carolina. The numbers will show if students are prepared to graduate high school and either pursue a college degree or enter the work force. Some of the factors in the study include college readiness, scores that students must have in order to graduate and an assessment of performance.

We both can agree that high school is a very important time for learning. Fact is, what we learn from kindergarten through grade 12, often lays the foundation for what type of college studies we seek and ultimately what we choose as a career.

So, which schools are the best of the best in Cumberland County and in North Carolina? Read on for the full list.
