Colorado’s Best Public and Private High Schools for 2022-2023

The ninth annual list of Colorado’s best high schools from ratings service Niche has a new number one in the public category. And while there’s less movement among the top private high schools, there’s still a significant change: Tuition has increased at four of the top five.

In the rundown for the 2021-2022 academic year, Niche based its conclusions on weighted scores in six subject areas: academics, diversity, teachers, college prep, clubs/activities, and health and safety. This round, the methodology in the public category includes a tweak, which reflects lessening concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic: The health and safety category has been replaced by one pertaining to administration. The final area for private high schools remains sports.

As part of their analysis, the number-crunchers at Niche looked at 92,743 public schools, 30,112 private schools, and 11,820 school districts nationwide. This year’s leader among public high schools in Colorado is Stargate Charter School in Thornton, which swapped places with last year’s winner, Cherry Creek High School. There’s also a new entry, Peak to Peak Charter Academy in Lafayette, while Cheyenne Mountain High School in Colorado Springs tumbled from fifth to twelfth.

This state’s private high schools didn’t make much of a splash on a national level. Kent Denver finished first, a repeat from the previous year, but it registered just 193rd out of 4,323 schools in the country — a full fifty slots lower than it scored in 2021-2022. Meanwhile, Kent Denver’s tuition went up by nearly $2,000 year over year, as did the costs at Denver’s Colorado Academy, the Colorado Springs School and Fountain Valley School, also in the Springs. St. Mary’s Academy in Littleton proved the exception to the rule among Colorado’s private high school top five: Its tuition is unchanged from last year.

Here are Niche’s picks for the top five public and top five private high schools in Colorado for the 2022-2023 school year, complete with grades in major categories, tuition information and comparisons to their performance last year.

5 states with the best schools

Immigrants who already have children or who are just planning to expand their family, when choosing a state to live, are guided by such an important factor as local schools. A high-ranking school increases a student’s chances of getting into a good college.

However, families without children should pay attention to the rating of the nearest schools. Schools in the States are not just schools, there is a direct relationship between the rating of an educational institution and the standard of living in the area. The better the school, the safer, cleaner, more favorable will be the area where it is located.

Wallethub has published a ranking of states with the best and worst schools, this list was shared by the author of the blog “The ABC of the Immigrant” on Yandex.Zen in his publication.

The five states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Virginia, and Maryland have been leaders in school quality for many years. But New York was only in 17th place, California dropped even lower – to 40th position.

But the states of West Virginia, Louisiana, Arizona, Alaska and New Mexico were the worst in the Wallethub ranking. Students here are less likely to receive a quality education.

School safety. For parents, one of the important criteria for evaluating schools is the safety of students.

Massachusetts, Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Delaware and Georgia are considered the safest states in this regard. These states have the fewest records of school fights and other physical harm to students.

Schools in Washington, Mississippi, South Carolina, California, and Louisiana do not perform well. The police and ambulance usually come here.

Bullying of children at school.

The most common cases of bullying occur in schools in Delaware, Georgia, Florida, Nevada and Washington.

Bullying is the least common in West Virginia, Iowa, Kentucky, New Hampshire and Alaska.

Student-teacher ratio.

The best numbers were in Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey and Connecticut.

But in Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, California, and Utah, there are too many students per teacher.

Median SAT scores. This indicator SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) is needed to select candidates for college admission.

“The original name of the test is “Scholastic Aptitude Test” – a test to determine the level of school abilities, critical thinking, literacy, mathematical abilities, etc.,” explains the blogger.

Top performers in Minnesota, Utah, North Dakota, Iowa, and Nebraska.

Students in New Mexico, Idaho, Delaware, Florida, and Washington perform the worst.

Median ACT scores. ACT (American College Testing) is a federally standardized test that measures the level of development of abilities and critical thinking.

Connecticut, Massachusetts, Washington DC, New Hampshire and California have the best results in the country.

The worst results are usually obtained in Nevada, Hawaii, South Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi.

Number of expelled high school students. The national average of 7.4% of high school students do not graduate from school (in the 1990s there were more – 12.1%).

Washington DC, New Mexico, Arizona, Oregon, and Louisiana have the most dropouts.

The lowest dropout rates are in Alabama, Iowa, West Virginia, Kentucky, and New Jersey – in these states, the number of dropouts due to school failure tends to zero.

Reading technique. In the United States, even high school students and graduates pass the reading test.

Students in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Utah and Colorado showed the best results.
