U.S. News Announces 2024 Best High Schools Rankings


Rankings consider equity in education excellence and outstanding outcomes in STEM education.

WASHINGTON, April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in education rankings, today announced the 2024 Best High Schools rankings. The rankings evaluate nearly 18,000 eligible public high schools at the national, state and local level.

In this edition:

"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," says LaMont Jones, Ed.D., managing editor of education at U.S. News. "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 highest ranked public schools in the 2024 Best High Schools national rankings are those with students who achieved exceptional scores on state assessments for math, reading and science. These schools also had strong underserved student performance, college readiness and curriculum breadth, as well as high graduation rates. College readiness specifically measures participation and performance on Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate exams, while underserved student performance focuses on students who are Black, Hispanic or from low-income households. U.S. News worked with RTI International, a global research firm, to implement the comprehensive ranking methodology.
