A recent study revealed the top schools in Colorado, many of which are located in the Denver metro area. Niche, a ranking and reviews website, released its 2025 rank of the best schools and school districts in the country on Monday.
The list includes both private and public schools. The public schools also encompass traditional, charter and magnet schools as well. Several factors are taken into account, including academics, diversity, clubs and activities, college preparation and sports.
One notable difference between the 2024 and 2025 rankings is that Niche no longer takes SAT and ACT scores into account.
