With Premont High School facing the prospect of closing because of financial and academic problems, it has decided to cut its sports programs for this spring semester and the fall semester of 2012, reports The Caller.

Premont is a 2A high school. Think of Premont ISD as the now-defunct Wilmer-Hutchins ISD. It has long been struggling academically and also has some economic hurdles to clear. The district will save about $50,000 each semester by cutting sports and plans to open two new science labs with the money.

“Our urgent situation requires swift and drastic action,” Superintendent Ernest Singleton said to the Caller.

BOYNTON BEACH — It opened in 2001 as the high school that Boynton Beach officials had wanted for a decade. A decade later, Boynton Beach High School is the high school most local students avoid.

Frustrated city and school district officials attribute the one-third-empty school and its inability to attract a majority of local kids to an bad image based partially on race and economics.

Principal Karen Whetsell said she is trying to better market her school to parents in Boynton Beach who are sending their kids elsewhere. T

We did not have room for everything I wanted to include in the big package of lists and stories that make up the new Challenge Index rankings of America’s high schools. I moved the list this year from Newsweek–where we often called it “America’s Best High Schools”– to washingtonpost.com, where its new title is “The High School Challenge.”

My editors were right not to jam in too much material. It is not always easy to find the features that are there. Please consider this a short guide to finding the inside stuff that many readers of this blog crave and that will give them more ammo to fire at me. I also provide below the Catching Up list of local schools with low Advanced Placement passing rates, something my editors and I agreed would work better on my blog.

Use this link to get to the main ranked lists, one for national and one for the Washington area. This link will take you to the Public Elites list, the schools that did not make the main lists because they were too selective. Here is the

As promised, a follow up to a previous post about Youth Connection Charter School and their 2011 graduating class: 

Youth Connection Charter School (YCCS) Virtual High School, a school designed to get struggling students on the path to success, hosted its second commencement of the graduating class of 2011 on June 17 at the Arturo Velazquez Institute.  120 students, many of which were prior high school drop outs, or struggling students, donned traditional caps and gowns today marking the completion of their high school requirements and for many, just a necessary step towards their college career.

“Last years graduation ceremony was historical because it was our first graduating class. This
