Top 10 High Schools in Illinois: U.S. News

Annual "Best High Schools in America" ranking puts Northside College Prep at No. 1 in Illinois, followed by Walter Payton and Jones College Prep. Who else makes the top 10?

U.S. News & World Report has released its top 400 high schools in America list. 

The rankings were based on evaluations of data from more than 19,000 schools across the United States. Data included information on state proficiency tests, how well minority students were performing compared to state averages, and the success of the school’s Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) programs. U.S. News teamed up with the D.C.-based American Institutes for Research to analyze the data.
