OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Two Oklahoma high schools are ranked among the top 100 in the nation in a report by Newsweek Magazine.

Classsen School for Advance Studies in Oklahoma City is ranked 17th and Booker T- Washington in Tulsa is ranked 83rd.

The list is based on the number of advanced placement tests taken by students then compared to the number of graduates.

Newsweek says the formula helps measure how committed the school is to helping students take college-level courses and giving those students an edge.
