Another organization ranking high schools nationwide has rated Decorah High School as one of the best in the state.
The Washington Post's list of "America's Most Challenging High Schools" places Decorah High School 4th on a list of Iowa high schools--ahead of all but Cedar Rapids Washington, Cedar Rapids Kennedy and Ames High School.
The Washington Post says it used test scores and graduation rates from the previous school year to determine its rankings.
