Why are private schools not ranked as part of the U.S. News 2010 Americas Best High Schools rankings?
In almost all cases students at private schools are not required to take the state-wide accountability tests which are mandatory for U.S. public high schools. Since private schools do not have the state testing data that U.S. News uses for the first two parts of the America’s Best High Schools rankings, they are not included in the U.S. News America’s Best High Schools rankings.
