This year’s rankings showcase the schools whose students demonstrate outstanding outcomes, surpassing the anticipated benchmarks, including college readiness, state assessment profiency and performance and achieving high graduation rates.
The highest-ranked public schools are those whose students achieved exceptional scores on state assessments for math, reading and science. The data assessed by U.S. News Report is based on high schools that had a 12th grade enrollment of 15 students or greater during the 2020-2021 school year. Katy ISD's Jordan High School was not included in the survey because it did not have 12th grade class during the 2020-2021 school year that was analyzed.
