U.S. News compared local schools against 618 counterparts around the state and 17,680 nationally to develop its rankings. They weighed together five different yardsticks, from a four-year graduation rate to a “college readiness” score that measures the proportion of seniors scoring well enough on either an Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate exam.
Eight Northeast Florida schools placed among the state’s top 50 public high schools in rankings from U.S. News & World Report released last week.
The top scorers included RCSA Middle-High as the only Duval charter school on the list, five Duval County magnet schools, and two traditional schools in St. Johns County.
