Here Are US News And World Report’s Top 10 Schools In Western New York

One of the biggest things parents look for when they move is looking at buying a new home in the school district where that home is. Recently US News and World Report put out a list of the best schools in Western New York. So where does your child's school rank compared to other schools in the area?

US News and World Report released a listing of all the best schools in the country and then breaks down that listing to the best in each state and then the best in each region.

We found the Top 10 best-ranked public high schools here in Western New York. US News and World Report used six different categories to base the rankings on.

College Readiness - How well the school gets students ready for college
Math and Reading Proficiency -  How well students do on state exams
Math and Reading Performance - How well students do compare to other students in the same grade level in different schools
Underserved Student Performance - How well minorities students do on exams and overall grades
College Curriculum Breadth - What percent of 12th graders are taking AP or college-level classes
Graduation Rate - How many students graduate from the school.

Each school in the area was put through the same metric system to determine where they ranked not only here in Western New York, but also where they ranked in New York State and overall in the entire country.

There was no bias on where the school was located or how many students are enrolled at the school. The numbers are all based on a percent of the student body.

US News and World Report puts out these rankings every year and some schools from last years Top 10 have dropped out while others have moved their way up.
