Arizona public schools claimed four of the top five spots on the US News & World Report's 2017 ranking of best high schools.
BASIS Scottsdale, a charter school that's part of a larger charter network, was ranked the best public high school in the nation. The school boasts a 100% graduation rate, and every single senior at the school takes at least one Advanced Placement exam.
US News looked at four factors to determine the ranking: student performance on state standardized tests, the performance of traditionally disadvantaged groups on exams, graduation rate, and the participation rate on Advanced Placement exams.
