Stevenson High School, in Lincolnshire, is the best public high school in the country according to the ranking website Niche. Niche compiles a vast array of educational and community data to produce a comprehensive ranking of schools, colleges, and neighborhoods. Niche’s rankings are based primarily on an analysis of data from the U.S. Department of Education, test scores, college data, and the website’s ratings. Additionally, Niche also factors in student and parent opinions, as well as the quality of school facilities, and extracurricular activities.
Based on an assessment of 18,793 of the nation’s top public high schools, three Lake County high schools ranked in the top 50. The top of the national rankings features Libertyville High School and Vernon Hills High School as the 23rd and 37th best.
Notwithstanding the top ranking, Stevenson officials continue to look to improve educational and experiential outcomes for their Lincolnshire student body. Jim Conery, a spokesman for Stevenson says School District 125 appreciates the national recognition but Stevenson is focused on making sure students succeed. “We’re always honored any time an organization ranks us highly,” Conrey said. “But we try not to get too worked up over these things. A lot of the time, it depends on the criteria being used for the ranking.”
Earlier last year Stevenson was the only suburban high school to be named one of the 10 best in Illinois by U.S. News and World Report. Emphasizing vastly different metrics from Niche, the U.S. News and World Report ranked, Stevenson the best public high schools in Illinois. Moreover, in Lake County, U.S. News and World Report ranked both Libertyville and Vernon Hills in the Top 15 High Schools in Illinois. Consequently, despite different data and metrics used, what’s clear is Lake County schools deliver top tier educational opportunities for its residents.
