“The 2024 Best High Schools rankings offer a starting point for parents to understand a school’s academic performance, whether it’s a prospective school or one that their child is already attending,” said LaMont Jones, Ed.D., managing editor of education at U.S. News, in a press release. “Accessible data on our high schools can empower families across the country as they navigate today’s educational environment and plan for the future.”
The rankings, available here, evaluate public high schools at the national, state and local level.
Along with the national rankings, U.S. News also publishes a state-by-state ranking of the 2024 Best High Schools and a demographic breakdown of all ranked schools that looks at enrollment, poverty and location.
U.S. News said the rankings are based on the state assessments for math, reading and science. Measures of college readiness, such as performance on advanced placement and international baccalaureate exams, were also considered in addition to underserved student performance, which measured learning outcomes among Black, Hispanic and low-income students for 10% of the overall ranking, U.S. News said.
Private schools were not considered in the ranking due to limitations on publicly available data; however, charter and magnet schools were because they are publicly funded, U.S. News said.
U.S. News worked with RTI International, a global research firm, to implement the comprehensive ranking methodology.
