The ratings are based on various factors, including test scores and graduation rates.

Storms bubble up Thursday afternoon
SUMMARY: Storms Bubble Up Thursday Afternoon
Thursday begins with beautiful weather and blue skies, but clouds will build by late morning. A trough over the region brings scattered showers and thunderstorms by lunchtime, increasing into the afternoon. While rain will be on and off, it won’t be a complete washout. High temperatures will mostly be in the upper 80s to low 90s, with some areas cooler due to storms. The pattern repeats Friday with more afternoon storms. Next week, high pressure builds back, bringing hotter temperatures in the mid-90s and fewer rain chances, though isolated pop-up showers remain possible during typical summer conditions.

Local air travelers excited about new TSA policy
SUMMARY: TSA has ended the long-standing requirement for passengers to remove their shoes during airport security screenings at all U.S. airports, starting immediately. Homeland Security Secretary Kristen Gnome announced this change, the first since 2006, when the policy was implemented after the “shoe bomber” Richard Reid attempted an attack. The new rule aims to reduce wait times and improve passenger experience without changing other security procedures. Local travelers expressed relief, appreciating the convenience and flexibility of keeping their shoes on. This update is part of broader efforts under President Trump’s vision for a “new golden age” of American travel.
The Transportation Security Administration no longer requires passengers to take their shoes off during the screening process.
