Schools that received bronze medals passed the first three steps but were not ranked numerically in the national rankings. To be ranked numerically nationally, schools had to pass steps 1-3 and have a college readiness index of 20.91 or above.Ī total of 6,041 schools were ranked, 500 schools receiving gold medals, 2,109 schools receiving silver medals and the remaining 3,432 schools received bronze medals. News calculated a college readiness index, which was the number of 12th graders who took and passed at least one AP test, divided by the number of 12th graders at that school. For the 2017 rankings, the graduation rate reflect students who entered the ninth grade in the 2011-2012 school year.
To pass step three, high schools had to have a graduation rate of 75 percent or greater. News looked at graduation rates and college readiness performance. Schools that passed this step then moved on to step two, which assessed whether disadvantaged students performed at or better than state averages for the least-advantaged students.The first step determined whether students at a particular school were performing better than statistically expected for students in that state, factoring in percentages of economically disadvantaged students to identify schools.
