List: Top schools in the tri-state area according to Newsweek

    SAT scores, graduation rates and student/teacher ratio all factored into Newsweek’s ranking of the country’s best schools.

    Pennsylvania:

    Harriton High School in Rosemont
    Northwest Pennsylvania Collegiate Academy in Erie
