The Best High Schools rankings identify the country's top-performing public high schools. The goal is to provide a clear, unbiased picture of how well public schools serve all of their students - from the highest to lowest achieving - in preparing them to demonstrate proficiency in basic skills as well as readiness for college-level work. U.S. News acknowledges the importance of America's high schools and the role of education in driving the country's future. Recognizing schools that are performing well and providing them as models to other schools can inspire educators and communities to do better.

Also, by sharing this information, parents across the country can be armed with information to help them make better-informed decisions about their child's education. U.S. News has been ranking high schools for over a decade and Uplift schools have ranked highly on the list for many years.

Schools are ranked on their performance on state-required tests, graduation rates, and how well they prepare students for college.

Uplift Education CEO, Yasmin Bhatia stated, "Increasing student academic achievement has always been our top priority. Now it is clear by objective measures that we are elevating college and career aspirations for all students and ensuring every student has the tools to not only meet but exceed those aspirations. On behalf of Uplift Education, I congratulate our staff, scholars, and parents for a job well done! Achieving such high rankings is certainly an accomplishment worth celebrating."
