Many factors go into what makes a great school, and Niche.com has crunched that data to compile its latest rankings of the best K-12 public and private schools in America (click here for more on methodology).
The website broke it down even further, compiling a list of the best high schools in Pennsylvania.
"One thing that sets Niche's rankings apart is we consider the entire student experience, including what students do after high school, and the college search process — specifically college entrance exams — were greatly impacted during the last year," Niche says.
"As a result of this change, we have updated our methodology to de-emphasize the importance of SAT and ACT scores."
