An Arizona charter school has topped the 2024 table for America's best high school.US News and World
An Arizona charter school has topped the 2024 table for America's best high school.
US News and World Report, the global authority in education rankings, has announced the nation's top 100 schools from nearly 18,000 eligible institutions.
BASIS Peoria on the outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona, is ranked first place this year, rising from 12th place in last year's rankings.
It serves fifth through to 12th graders who are majority Asian - with 70 percent of students from this ethnicity, followed by 15 percent white and six percent Hispanic. Fifty-three percent of students are male and 47 percent female.
BASIS Peoria was closely followed in the rankings by Signature School in Evansville, Indiana, and Tesla STEM High School in Redmond, Washington.

Schools are ranked based on five categories of various weightings - including the college readiness of students, curriculum breadth and state assessment proficiency.
The highest-ranked schools are those found to have the most students who achieved exceptional scores on state assessments for math, reading and science.
'College readiness' is based on participation and performance on Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate exams.

Another category which contributes to a school's ranking, 'underserved student performance', is based on the grades of students who are Black, Hispanic or from low income households.
'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,' said LaMont Jones, Ed.D., managing editor of education at U.S. News.
BASIS Peoria, which offers college counseling workshops and is led by Head Melissa Rankin, scored 100/100 for the college readiness of its students.
Students at the suburban institution can take part in a lengthy roster of extra-curricular activities including sports teams, Model UN and a robotics club.
The school is part of a network called BASIS which has been operating since 1998.
Campuses follow 'a STEM-infused, liberal arts program' designed to propel students 'farther than they ever thought possible,' according to the website.
Charter high schools are public high schools that operate under charters and which have been released from some of the regulations governing traditional public schools.
Signature School in Evansville, Indiana, was ranked second in the nation with a college readiness score of 99.5/100
In third place, TESLA Stem High School was ranked 100/100 for college readiness but, as a specialist school, it lagged behind in curriculum breadth
The top 100 high schools are located across 26 states and the District of Columbia, according to the 2024 U.S. News Best High Schools national rankings, with 62% concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, New Jersey, New York and Texas. https://t.co/SThLGAifkY
