Oakdale School Named One of Nation's Top
Schools

Oakdale School was recently named by US News & World
Report as one of the top schools in the United States.  Eight
other schools from East Tennessee also made the list -
including Sunbright School.

The annual list ranks 18,790 public high schools in 40 states
using data from the 2005-2006 school year.  Ten states could
not be included in the rankings because sufficient data was
not available for comparison.

The magazine, along with the K-12 education data research
firm School Evaluation Services, used a three-step process to
judge how each school's performance.

The rankings were based on how students perform on state
tests, how well each school's disadvantaged students did on
tests, and how successful the school is in providing
college-level course work.
