Niche rankings Georgia schools scoop otp

Many OTP schools and districts are ranked in the top 100.  Here are the 2016 Georgia results:

They compiled these rankings for the Best High Schools and Districts rankings are based on a set of 8 different grades, each with their own set of factors, including academics, health & safety, diversity, survey responses, teacher quality, facility quality, extracurriculars & activities, and sports & fitness.

Their Academics grade alone is based on 9 different factors, including SAT/ACT composite scores, state assessment proficiency, AP enrollment, graduation rates, and survey responses, and more. Here is the National High School ranking too!

The only change from last year’s methodology is how Niche calculated our Teachers Grade: we added a salary index to normalize teacher salary based on the county-level household income. This allows us to reward school districts that value their teachers by paying them a salary close to or above the average county-level household income, even if the teacher salary is below the national average.

If you live OTP, you can see how great many of our schools ranked. If you are considering moving OTP, this is a great resource for you to utilize.

The highest SAT scores by schools was released early this month too.
