San Antonio high school sits at head of the class among Texas' best in 2022
San Antonio is earning extra credit in a new ranking of the best high schools in Texas.
In the latest rankings from education review website Niche, one local district ranks among the state’s best school districts, while one private institution makes the grade among the state’s best private high schools.
Within the top 10 in each respective category are:
- BASIS Texas Charter Schools in San Antonio, No. 4 among school districts
- Keystone School in San Antonio, No. 9 among private high schools
“Some of the biggest decisions that parents face have to do with their children’s education,” Luke Skurman, founder and CEO of Niche, says in a news release. “We strive to put as much power in their hands as possible so they can make informed decisions with confidence.”
Niche says that while traditional rankings rely heavily on metrics like test scores and academic performance, its rankings combine ratings from current students, alumni, and parents with data from the U.S. Department of Education to evaluate teachers, resources, facilities, extracurricular activities and more.
