While multiple high schools in the state made the top rankings, the organization's state-by-state comparisons placed Arizona in 33rd.

The U.S. News report calculates this ranking on six different criteria: college readiness, reading and math proficiency, reading and math performance, under-served student performance, college curriculum breadth and graduation rates. State rank is determined by the total percentage of a state's ranked schools that were in the top 25 percent of the national rankings.
