Grayslake Patch, May 12, 2017
Many students can skate by in high school with good grades when they choose less-challenging courses.

With that in mind, the Washington Post recently released its 2017 list of the Most Challenging High Schools in the U.S. Several suburban schools made this year's list, and College Prep School of America, a private school in Lombard, was ranked as the most challenging in the state. The school ranked as the 53rd most challenging nationally. Adlai Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire came in at No. 3 on the list and Buffalo Grove High School was No. 8. Read Story
