        National Rankings: Best High Schools

        The U.S. News rankings include data on more than 22,000 public high schools in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Schools were awarded gold, silver or bronze medals based on their performance on state assessments and how well they prepare students for college.

        About the Awards

        Gold—Top 500 Schools based on highest college readiness.

        Silver—High-performing schools based on lower college readiness.

        Bronze—High-performing schools based on state exam performance,  listed alphabetically.

        Award Distribution

        Gold 2.4%

        Silver 10.3%

        Bronze 16.8%

        No Medal 70.5%

        HOW We Determine the Awards

        STEP 1 Students perform better than expected in their state.

        We looked at reading and math results for students on each state's proficiency(水平) tests and then factored in the percentage of economically disadvantaged students, who tend to score lower.

        STEP 2 Disadvantaged students perform better than state average.

        We compared each school's math and reading proficiency rates for disadvantaged students--black, Hispanic and low-income—with the state wide results for these student groups and then selected schools that were performing better than their state averages.

        STEP 3 Student graduation rates meet or are greater than a national standard.

        We left out schools from consideration if their graduation rates were lower than 75 percent--a starting point that is higher than a federal law that requires states to give extra resources to schools below 67 percent.

        STEP 4 Students are prepared for college-level coursework.

        We calculated a College Readiness Index,which is based or the school's AP participation rate and how well the students did on those tests. Tiebeakers were used to determine ranks of schools that achieved the same College Readiness Index.
