Data compiler Niche, which specializes in analyzing top schools, recently released its 2020 list of the city's best.

Niche's methodology is based on an analysis of academic and student-life data from the US Department of Education along with test scores, and feedback from Niche.com users. You can read the full methodology here.

To come up with the rankings, each school received a letter grade in the following categories: Academics; Diversity; Teachers; College Prep; Clubs & Activities; Health & Safety; Administration; Sports; Food; and Resources & Facilities.
