Schools are ranked according to how they
serve the needs of all the students in a school
system, not just the students who plan to
attend college. Therefore, to attain a higher
ranking, schools must surpass certain
statistical expectations for tests in such core
subjects as math and reading.

Students must also perform well on state
exams, surpassing the average test scores
for a state. Ratings are also based on
whether or not the curriculum sufficiently
prepares a student for a higher education, all
which is determined by the college readiness
index.
