The local Ohio schools in the top 500 and their rating:

Walnut Hills is 43; IH 54; Wyoming 86; Mariemont 207; Anderson 297; Madeira 330 and Turpin 347.

Sycamore is not listed in the top 500.

To compile the 2011 list of the top high schools in America, NEWSWEEK reached out to administrators, principals, guidance counselors, and Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate coordinators at more than 10,000 public high schools across the country. In order to be considered for our list, each school had to complete a survey requesting specific data from the 2009-2010 academic year. In total, more than 1,100 schools were assessed to produce the final list of the top 500 high schools.
