The national rankings are determined through a three-step process. 

U.S. News and World Report explained the first two steps were designed to ensure schools serve all students well, using performance on state proficiency tests as the benchmarks. If schools made it past the first two steps, the publication used a third step to assess the degree to which schools prepare students for college-level work.
