Methodology
Only public high schools serving students in grades 9-12 were included in this list. The following types of schools were omitted:

- Religion-affiliated schools
- Alternative schools designated for disruptive students
- Private schools
- Charter schools
- Schools that have closed since this data was recorded
- Special education-focused schools
