A San Antonio high school is continuing its A+ streak, appearing within the top 100 on a prestigious annual list of the country's best public high schools.

The 2023 rankings from U.S. News & World Report, released August 29, put BASIS San Antonio - Shavano Campus at No. 81 nationally (down from No. 77 last year) among the country’s best high schools. The school also ranks No. 17 nationally among the best charter schools for the second consecutive year, and No. 41 nationally among the best STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) high schools (down from No. 25 in 2022).

Topping the national list for 2023 is the Early College at Guilford in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Each year, U.S. News evaluates about 18,000 high schools on six factors: college readiness, reading and proficiency, reading and math performance, underserved student performance, college curriculum breadth, and graduation rates.

"Having access to a strong high school program is paramount for students as they face an ever-changing world," said U.S. News' managing editor of education Liana Loewus in a release. "Making data on our high schools available helps parents ensure their child is in the educational environment that best sets them up to thrive."
