Are you looking for the best private school in Virginia? Look no further! Niche, an educational platform, recently released their rankings of the best schools in the United States, and several Virginia high schools made the list. At the top of the list is Maggie Walker Governor's School in Richmond, which specializes in government and international studies. Niche's rankings differ from other rankings that are based almost exclusively on test scores and academic performance. Niche takes into account input from students, alumni, parents, and quantitative data from sources such as the U.
S. Department of Education. This data is used to evaluate teachers, resources, and facilities. The North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics in Durham, North Carolina was named the best public school, while Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts was named the best private school.
Niche also compiles lists by state and for major metropolitan areas. Niche's rankings are designed to provide families with valuable information about schools in their area or a neighborhood they may not be familiar with. The Northern Virginia Governor's School of Science and Technology offers admissions to students from Fairfax, Arlington, Loudoun, Prince William counties and the cities of Falls Church and Fairfax.
