The following variables contributed to the ranking:number of students (K-12), graduation rate, school funding per student, student-to-teacher ratio, percent of students scoring above proficient in standardized state math test, and percent of students scoring above proficient in standardized state reading and language test. Data from a total of 10,247 public school districts were used to compute a score for each school district.
