***College-readiness performance was tested using Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate test data as the benchmarks for success, depending on which program was largest at the school.
A “college readiness index” was computed based on the school’s AP or IB participation rate (the number of 12th-grade students in the 2009-2010 academic year who took at least one AP or IB test before or during their senior year, divided by the number of 12th graders) and how well the students did on those tests.
.
***The maximum college readiness index value is 100.0, which means that every 12th-grade student during the 2009-2010 academic year in a particular school took and passed at least one AP or IB test before or during their senior year.
.
***In total, U.S. News nationally ranked the 4,877 highest-scoring schools as gold, silver, or bronze.
- Gold medals: Schools with highest unrounded college readiness index values were numerically ranked from No. 1 to No. 500 and were the gold medal winners.
- Silver medals: The next group of high schools with the highest unrounded college readiness indexes were numerically ranked No. 501 through No. 2,008 and were the silver medal winners.
- Bronze medals: An additional 2,869 high schools ranked No. 2,009 through No. 4,877 were awarded bronze medals. A bronze medal school either does not offer any AP or IB courses, or its college readiness index was less than the median of 16.3 needed to be ranked silver.
