Understanding High School Rankings
High school rankings, such as those provided by U.S. News & World Report, evaluate schools based on a methodology that typically includes:
- College Readiness Index: Measures the proportion of a school's 12th-grade students who took and passed at least one Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) exam.
- State Assessment Proficiency: How well students perform on state-required tests.
- State Assessment Performance: How much better or worse students perform on state assessments compared to what is expected for the average student in that state.
- Graduation Rate: The percentage of students who graduate within four years.
- Underserved Student Performance: How well Black, Hispanic, and low-income students perform on state assessments compared with non-underserved students in the state.
These metrics contribute to a comprehensive ranking that reflects a school's overall educational quality and its effectiveness in preparing students for post-secondary education and careers.
