California has some of the best high schools in the nation, according to U.S. News & World Report.

The media website looked at more than 24,000 reviewed public high schools in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., to come up with its 2024 Best High Schools rankings, released Tuesday.

U.S. News & World Report ranked a total of 17,655 schools nationwide based on factors including college readiness, curriculum and graduation rates, then assigned them percentile scores. Those rankings included 1,652 schools in California.

The Golden State had a total of 11 schools in the top 100, U.S. News & World Report said.
