Tennessee Schools Ranked On Best Public High Schools List

With the 2017-18 school year kicking off across much of Tennessee this week, students and their parents can see how their school stacks up against others in the state and nationally as Niche.com has released its annual rankings of the nation's best schools.

To arrive at the rankings, Niche looked at data from the U.S. Department of Education as well as test scores, college data and ratings collected from Niche users. The methodology for each category of rankings varied with some factors having a higher weight for certain categories over others.

The 2018 rankings released this month rank elementary, middle and high schools.
