A Chicago high school was named among the five best high schools in the country by U.S News & World Report.
With the new school year about to begin, NBC Chicago took a look at the latest ranking of best public high schools.
According to U.S. News and World Report, Payton College Preparatory High School in Chicago is the fifth best in the U.S. The report, which was released in April and named the top high schools for 2022, ranked public high schools using a set of six so-called"indicators," including things like college readiness, college curriculum breadth, state assessment proficiency and performance, underserved student performance and graduation rates. This year's ranking was adjusted, however, due to data discrepancies from the COVID pandemic.
