Poll: Only One Local HS School Ranks For Athletes
While I was surprised that more public high schools from Section 2 weren't included, it was quite an accomplishment for one school that is not only head and shoulders in the area, but number 2 in the entire state for athletes.

The website that grades public high schools is niche.com and has used its data to rank the 2018 Best High Schools for Athletes. The Pittsburgh-based website niche.com has produced a Best High Schools for Athletes in New York and another list for Best High Schools for Athletes nationally.
