Three Michigan high schools are among the top 100 in the country, according to the new 2023 U.S. News & World Report Best High Schools rankings — with City High Middle School in Grand Rapids rated as No. 18.
The other top local schools were International Academy of Macomb in Clinton Township at No. 21 and International Academy in Bloomfield Hills at No. 52
The U.S. News teamed up with the North Carolina-based RTI International, a global nonprofit social science research firm to come up with the best high schools rankings.
RTI International and U.S. News looked at data from more than 24,000 public high schools in all 50 states and the District of Columbia that had 12th grade enrollment and sufficient data for analysis.
Information from the 2021-22 school year was the main focus.
The ranking method
This year, U.S. News based their school performance ratings on six factors: college readiness, state assessment proficiency, state assessment performance, underserved student performance, college curriculum breadth and graduation rate.
Each school is scored in each one of these areas. Those scores are then standardized and then divided by standard deviations (how far apart the scores are from one another) and then weighted in each area.
Those weighted scores, were then transformed into a percentile score between zero and 100.
The overall score indicates a school’s position out of the approximately 18,000 final schools that were ranked. That means 20 percent of schools rank higher than a school with a score of 80, and 80 percent rank lower.
That overall score was then rounded two decimal places to show how close the schools are to one another. This change in methodology allows high schools to be ranked more accurately, and on both a state and federal level.
