AOC received a bronze rating along with 172 other schools in the state, which places them in the top 10 percent of high schools in America.

The basis for the rating revolves around their college readiness index score.

Nation-wide, 1189 schools received the bronze honor out of nearly 22,000 public high schools evaluated.
