When you meet someone new in San Antonio, one of the first they’re likely to ask is where you went to high school.

That may help explain why so many people took interest in the Current‘s most-read story this week. Apparently, only grads of one local school are able to claim national bragging rights, at least according to U.S. News. BASIS San Antonio – Shavano Campus, a North Side public charter institution, was the sole Alamo City institution to make the magazine’s list of the nation’s 100 best public high schools.

Somehow, we think alumni from other SA campuses are still proud of educations they got.

Also among the Current‘s most-read articles this week was a story about the theft of all four tires from a vehicle at SeaWorld, which went viral on Tiktok. Readers also checked out news warning of heavy traffic prior to Colombian pop diva Karol G’s concert at the Alamodome.
