U.S. News High School Rankings: Melrose High Not Ranked

MELROSE, MA—The U.S. News and World Report released its rankings of the top high schools in the state and country Tuesday, and Melrose High School did not make the list.

MHS was not ranked within the Commonwealth's top 75 schools, nor was it given a national ranking by U.S. News and World Report. Sturgis Charter Public School in Hyannis was ranked as the Commonwealth's top high school, followed by Boston Latin School and Advanced Math and Science Academy Charter School in Marlborough.

The rankings were determined through a four step process; which analyzed the school's test scores, performance of disadvantaged students, graduation rates and college readiness. This was the first year that U.S. News and World Report analyzed graduation rates.

Based on government data, MHS has a graduation rate of 98 percent, and a college readiness index of 30.1.
