New Tech Institute was informed recently that it received a Bronze ranking in the U.S. News and World Report’s “America’s Best Schools.†New Tech is one of only 33 percent of schools across the United States to receive a medal.
U.S. News rankings included data from more than 21,000 public high schools in the United States. Schools were awarded gold, silver or bronze medals based on their performance on state assessments and how well they prepare students for college.
Specifically, the report looked at three main areas. If schools passed one step, they were then evaluated on the next step. The three steps included:
- Whether each school’s students were performing better than statistically expected for students in their state.
- Whether their disadvantaged students were outperforming disadvantaged students in the state.
- College readiness performance using Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate test data.
