More than 30 schools in the
Hudson Valley are recognized as the best in the nation according to the latest
annual rankings by US News & World Report.
Bronxville High School is
ranked the highest in the region. It is ranked 13th in New York and 145th in the country.
Top 30 schools also include:
Edgemont Junior-Senior High School (#14 in NY, #146 Nationally), Byram Hills
High School (#18 in NY, #167 Nationally), Rye High School (#19 in NY, #169
Nationally), Horace Greeley High School (#23 in NY, #195 Nationally), Blind
Brook High School (#25 in NY, #217 Nationally), and Hastings High School (#29
in NY, #258 Nationally).
The rankings are based on six particular factors including:
- College
readiness — which holds the most weight in ranking
- College
curriculum breadth
- Reading
and math proficiency and
performance
- Underserved
student performance
- Graduation
rates.
The report gives insight into how underserved groups are
doing academically and how well these schools support these students.
U.S. News says their core principle is that top schools need to
serve ALL students well, not just those planning to go to college, and the schools need to
produce academic outcomes that support this.
The
COVID-19 pandemic did not affect these results since U.S. News used data from the
2018-2019 school year for this edition
