In Columbus Monthly September 2001 issue, (Vol. 27, No. 9) there is an article ranking Central Ohio's "suburban" high schools. Columbus Monthly previously published their rankings of Central Ohio's suburban high schools in 1983, 1991 and 1996. Columbus Monthly is only rating what they consider suburban high schools, not rural or urban high schools. Columbus Monthly is rating each high school individually not the suburban school districts.
