BCPS High Schools Among the Nation’s Best Ranked by U.S. News & World Report
May 8, 2019
All 33 Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) traditional high schools have made the list of the nation’s best high schools, according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2019 Best High Schools national rankings. This year’s rankings evaluate more than 23,000 public high schools in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Congratulations to Pompano Beach High School, McFatter Technical High School, Cypress Bay High School, Nova High School and Atlantic Technical High School for earning top 50 placement among Florida high schools and ranking in the top 1,000 schools in the nation.
According to U.S. News, the 2019 Best High Schools rankings results aren't comparable to Best High Schools rankings published in the past for many reasons. This year’s completely revamped rankings methodology produced a numerical ranking for 17,245 high schools based on an overall score from six weighted ranking factors. Schools were analyzed and ranked based on college readiness, college curriculum breath, reading and math proficiency, reading and math performance, underserved student performance and graduation rate. In the past, a school's numerical ranking was based only on a single factor: a school's College Readiness Index.
The following BCPS traditional high schools ranked among the top 5,000 schools in the nation.
