The listing of America's Best High Schools in 2023 is based on a study of nearly 25,000 public traditional, magnet and charter high schools in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
To compile the list, the magazine evaluated all schools using a six-step analysis that includes tests of Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate IB programs, school performance, math and reading skills, graduation rates, and differences related to school performance.
