Montco high schools dominate Pennsylvania's Top 50

Nine Montgomery County schools are ranked in U.S. News' Top 50 High Schools in Pennsylvania. Radnor and Lower Moreland made the top 10.

U.S. News & World Report released its annual high school rankings on Tuesday, and Montgomery County performed very well compared with the rest of the state.

With nine schools in the top 50, Montco was the leading county in Pennsylvania.
