Two Richland One schools ranked among America’s Most Challenging High Schools

Richland One’s A.C. Flora and Dreher high schools have been named by the Washington Post as two of America’s Most Challenging High Schools. Among the 11 South Carolina high schools on the list, which included special academic magnet schools and Governor’s Schools, Flora ranked third and Dreher ranked eighth.

The rankings are based on the number of Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate and Cambridge tests given in a school year divided by the number of seniors who graduate.
