Dedham High School, however, was not on the list this year.

Among the Massachusetts schools in the 2014 rankings, 22 were awarded gold medals, 41 earned silver medals and 12 received bronze medals, based on their performance on state assessments and how well they prepare students for college. 

Last year, Dedham High School was ranked 42nd best high school in Massachusetts and was awarded a silver medal, classifying the school as high-performing with lower college readiness than those that earned a gold medal.
