Niche's school district rankings are based on an analysis of statistics and millions of reviews from students and parents, using data from the U.S. Department of Education.

Factors considered in the rankings include state test scores, college readiness, graduation rates, teacher quality and public school district ratings, among other measures.

Niche said SAT and ACT scores were removed from this year's ranking methodology to reflect the broader shift away from standardized test scores in the college admissions process.
