The Courier-Journal reports:

Three Jefferson County high schools are once again among the best in the nation, according to the latest edition of Newsweek.

Eastern, Ballard and duPont Manual high schools are included in the magazine's newest list of America's Best High Schools. Out of 1,258 schools, Manual ranks 112th, Eastern 629th and Ballard 655th.
