Blue Ridge High School Receives Bronze Medal Recognition by US News & World Report.

US News & World Report analyzed over 20,000 high schools. A three-step process determined the best high schools.

  • The first step determined whether each school's students were performing better than statistically expected for the average student in the state.
  • The second step determined whether the school's least-advantaged students (black, Hispanic, and low income) were performing better than average for similar students in the state.
  • Schools that made it through the first two steps became eligible to be judged nationally on the final step, college-readiness performance, using Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate test data as the benchmarks for success, depending on which program was largest at the school.

The top 100 high schools nationwide with the highest college readiness index scores were ranked numerically (ties were broken using first the participant passing rate and then the average number of AP and/or IB exams passed per test taker) and awarded gold medals. The next 461 top-performing high schools nationwide-based on their college readiness index scores-earned silver medals. An additional 1,189 high schools in 48 states plus the District of Columbia that passed the first two steps were awarded bronze medals.
