Saline High School is among the list of the top 500 high schools in the nation, according to Newsweek — coming in at no. 222.

The school was the fourth-highest ranked school in the state of Michigan out of a total of 16. Only the International Academy, an International Baccalaureate school in Bloomfield Hills, Andover High School in Bloomfield Hills and East Grand Rapids High School were ranked higher among Michigan schools.

Saline was also on the list in 2010, ranking 13th in the state and 1,073 overall. Ann Arbor high schools Pioneer and Huron were also on the list in 2010.

Saline Area Schools superintendent Scot Graden said the ranking was a result of a partnership among students, staff and parents and a reflection of the district as a whole.

“It’s a tribute to the K-12 process and the hard work going on at the elementary level is putting students on the right track for success in high school,” Graden said.
