Seven Peninsula public high schools were among 1,500 nationwide included on Newsweek magazine's 2009 list of top high schools.
The rankings, based on a ratio created by Washington Post reporter Jay Mathews, use the number of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and/or Cambridge tests taken by all students at a high school in 2008, divided by the number of seniors who graduated that year.
Five Newport News high schools, Hampton High School and Tabb High School in York County were among 89 Virginia high schools on the list.
Warwick High School, which houses Newport News' baccalaureate program, ranked 304; Menchville came in at 638; Woodside at 907; Heritage at 1,237; and Denbigh at 1,478.
Hampton High has a baccalaureate program and ranked 654. Tabb High ranked 714.
