Just last week, USA Today published a story breaking down the top high schools for athletes in the state of Maryland. And a local high school on the Eastern Shore made the list of 25 schools.

Based on a study conducted by Niche, which took into account feedback from students and parents, number of sports offered, number of state championships, student participation, and more, Stephen Decatur landed not just in the Top 25 of Maryland high schools for athletes, but made it all the way into the Top 10, ultimately being slotted at No. 9.
