Niche
Niche is an innovative online company that ranks secondary schools, colleges, and grad schools in the United States, and in some cases appears even to provide an application process for students to be admitted to some colleges.
Niche has an enormous amount of ranking data about nearly all high schools in the country, even relatively new ones, in all the major categories of academics, athletics, college placement, and so on.
Niche's website features easy-to-click links for finding its rankings of the best high schools by type and region, such as the best private high schools in any particular county. The data even includes the percentage of students who receive financial aid.
For athletes, Niche ranks the best high schools in each state. For those interested in a religiously affiliated school, Niche ranks the schools statewide against other schools having that same affiliation, such as Catholic.
