<strong>Schools</strong> Visitedin the <strong>Smart</strong> & <strong>Good</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>Schools</strong> StudyWe made site visits to 24 high schools, all of which had received some form of external recognition,in every region of the country—north, south, east, west, and midwest. <strong>The</strong> schoolsranged in size from 300 students to 4,300 and included public, public charter, independent,and religious schools in urban, suburban, and rural settings. We are deeply grateful tothe staff, students, and parents of each of these schools for participating in the <strong>Smart</strong> & <strong>Good</strong> <strong>High</strong><strong>Schools</strong> study. We also wish to thank those practitioners who were not part of our site visits, but whosepromising practices we learned about through other communications or the professional literature.Academy of Our Lady of Peace, San Diego, CaliforniaAdlai Stevenson <strong>High</strong> School, Lincolnshire, IllinoisBrighton <strong>High</strong> School, Brighton, MassachusettsCommunity of Peace Academy, St. Paul, MinnesotaEleanor Roosevelt <strong>High</strong> School, Greenbelt, MarylandFenway <strong>High</strong> School, Boston, MassachusettsFrancis W.
