(8-29-23) The U.S. News rankings include data on nearly 25,000 public high schools in 50 states and the District of Columbia.
How the US News ranks schools —
- College Readiness 30% —The proportions of 12th graders who took and earned a qualifying score on at least one AP or IB exam. Earning a qualifying score is worth three times more than just taking.
- State Assessment Proficiency 20% —Aggregated scores on state assessments that students may be required to pass for graduation.
- State Assessment Performance 20% — How aggregated scores on state assessments compare with U.S. News’ expectations given the proportions of students who are Black, Hispanic and from low-income households.
- Underserved Student Performance 10% —Scores on state assessments aggregated just among students who are Black, Hispanic and from low-income households. These scores are compared with what is typical in the state for non-undeserved students, with parity or higher being the goal.
- College Curriculum Breadth 10% — The proportions of 12th graders who took and earned a qualifying score on AP and IB exams in multiple areas. More exams are valued more than fewer exams up to a maximum of four. Earning a qualifying score on an exam is worth three times more than taking.
- Graduation Rate 10% — The proportion of entering ninth graders who graduated four academic years later.
