Where Did Your School Rank in Michigan's 100 Best High Schools?
To score well on U.S. News & World Report's annual ranking, a school must serve all students well, not just those who are college-bound.
Seven Michigan high schools rank among the 500 best schools in the nation, according to the annual U.S. News & World Report Best High Schools ranking. The 2016 list was released April 18.
