BOSTON — Boston Latin School in Boston was named the top high school in Massachusetts in US News & World Report’s annual ranking.
The publication’s 2023-2024 “Best High Schools” ranking, which was released this week, includes 17,680 public high schools across the United States.
This year’s rankings showcase the schools “whose students demonstrate outstanding outcomes, surpassing the anticipated benchmarks, including achieving high graduation rates,” the publication said.
In assembling its national and state-by-state rankings, US News & World Report analyzed key metrics including college readiness, assessment proficiency, assessment performance, underserved student performance, college curriculum breadth, and graduation rate.
“Having access to a strong high school program is paramount for students as they face an ever-changing world,” Liana Loewus, managing editor of education at U.S. News said. “Making data on our high schools available helps parents ensure their child is in the educational environment that best sets them up to thrive.”
The Early College at Guilford in Greensboro, North Carolina, was named the top high school in the country in the national ranking, while Boston Latin School ranked 50th nationally.
