When ranking high schools, U.S. News bases its high school rankings on a number of factors including overall student performance on state-required tests; how effectively schools educated their disadvantaged students; high school graduation rates (new this year); and how well they prepared students for college based on participation in and performance on AP (Advanced Placement)and IB (International Baccalaureate®) exams.

Michelle Boyd, RA Upper School Principal said that, while she is excited and proud to see RA listed among the top public schools in the nation, she is not surprised. “Renaissance Academy is a unique school which has always striven toward balancing strong academic achievement with a rich student life.
