Niche said its 2022 best schools rankings offer a more “personal” view of schools than its rankings in recent years. Significantly less importance was placed on SAT and ACT scores this year, Niche said. Any factor in its methodology that is related to test scores was reduced by one third. The company combined ratings from students, alumni, and parents with quantitative data from U.S. Department of Education and other sources to evaluate teachers, resources, facility, extracurricular activity opportunities and other factors.
