The publication used U.S. Department of Education data to develop an initial list of schools with graduation rates of at least 85 percent. Those schools were sent a survey to complete. About 1,200 schools took part.

According to the publication, it considered “six indicators culled from school surveys to compare public high schools in the U.S., with graduation and college acceptance rates weighed most heavily. Other criteria included: college-level courses and exams, percentage of students with free or reduced lunch, as well as SAT and ACT scores—another mark of how well a school prepares students for college.”

This recognition was previously announced by Newsweek magazine who has since purchased The Daily Beast and moved the recognition to that publication.
