Those US News rankings are terrible. They can’t even accurately “rank” the nation’s colleges, let alone the much larger number of secondary schools. The people doing the rankings have no direct knowledge of what they’re judging; they just take the info the school sends them and shove it into a formula. Many colleges have already been exposed for manipulating those rankings.
