For the fourth year, Colorado Springs School District 11's Palmer High School has been named one of the top 1,600 high schools in America by Newsweek. Winners are determined by taking the total number of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, or Cambridge (AICE) tests given at a school each year and dividing by the number of seniors graduating in May or June. Schools achieving a ratio of at least 1.000, meaning they had as many tests in 2009 as they had graduates, were put on the list on the Newsweek website. Each list is based on the previous year's data, so the 2010 list has each school's numbers for 2009. This year, only 6 percent of the approximately 27,000 U.S. public high schools managed to reach that standard and be placed on the Newsweek list.
