The national rankings are determined through a three-step process.
For the first two steps, U.S. News & World Report reviewed overall student performance on state-required tests and factored in how effectively the schools educated their least-advantaged students. Finally, the publication assessed the schools on how well they prepared students for college, based on participation in and performance on exams.
