The Davidson Academy was named to the “Public Elites List” by the Washington Post’s Jay Mathews! The Public Elites List is a select group of schools that are listed separately from the Jay Mathews Challenge Index because of their exceptional quality and unique admissions practices that allow them to target their instruction to a select group of students.
The Challenge Index is the oldest high school ranking system in the country, beginning in 1998 in both Newsweek and The Washington Post.
