Neither of Santee's high schools were included in the rankings of the nation's top 1,800 schools in U.S. News & World Report's annual academic survey that was released this week. But, an analysis of West Hills and Santana High statistics can be found on their website.

The report lists and compares student to teacher ratios, college readiness scores based on advanced placement tests, scores on the Academic Performance Index and more.

Santana comes out ahead in the student to teacher ratio, with slightly smaller class sizes, and West Hills has a significantly higher college readiness score.

Two schools in the Grossmont Union High School District were included in the rankings of nation's top 1,800 schools; Helix High School ranked 277 in California and Valhalla High School 295. Ten San Diego Unified School District schools were included.

San Marcos High School was ranked third in the state and 11th in the nation in the report.
