Academic and Fine Arts Recognition
May 2007, Stony Point High School made the Newsweek list of top high schools with a placement of 1,068. The rankings are based on the total number of Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) and/or Cambridge tests that were given at a school last May divided by the number of seniors graduating. All public schools listed achieved a ratio of at least 1.0000, meaning they had given at least as many tests in 2006 as they had graduates. Now although all graduating classes have been outstanding, It has said that the class of 2006 was the most accomplished class academically that the school has seen since 1999.
