WHITEFISH BAY, WI — Attending high school in the age of the new coronavirus is an experience like no other in history, but U.S. News & World Report has kept up its rankings, finding the top schools in Wisconsin, though none cracked the top 100 in the nation. "The Best High Schools rankings provide the most comprehensive, data-based information on nearly every public high school in the country," Anita Narayan, managing editor of Education at U.S. News, said in a news release. "Families can use this information to see how their local schools compare on graduation rates and state assessments, as well as academic performance by students who are traditionally underserved — those who are black, Hispanic or from low-income households." See the full Wisconsin list here. And here are the top schools in the state with the state and national rankings.
