All six high schools in the East Cobb area have been ranked among the top 40 percent nationally by U.S. News and World Report, which released its annual Best High Schools marks last week.
The Cobb County School District said in a release that 13 of its high schools are in the top 40 percent of more than 18,000 schools nationwide.
Walton High School is ranked No. 2 in metro Atlanta, No. 4 in Georgia and No. 174 in the country.
Lassiter High School comes in at No. 7 in metro Atlanta and No. 10 in the state, while Pope is No. 16 in metro Atlanta and No. 20 in Georgia.

Kell High School is ranked No. 61 in metro Atlanta and No. 75 in Georgia.
The rankings were developed based on graduation rates, test scores and college readiness metrics, among other factors.
All 16 of Cobb’s traditional high schools were recently named AP Honor Schools by the Georgia Department of Education.
