Eight St. Vrain Valley School District schools ranked among the top 32% on a list of high schools in the United States compiled by U.S. News and World Report released Tuesday.
The rankings are based on a variety of criteria, including graduation rate, math and reading proficiency, college readiness, and how low-income, black and Latino students perform on state assessments, according to a news release.
