The 10 most unique high school mascots in Massachusetts

U.S. News & World Report released its 2024 best public high schools rankings for the U.S. on Tuesday, releasing rankings both at a national and state level.

U.S. News considered 25,000 public high schools across all 50 states and the District of Columbia for this year's list. The list includes traditional, charter and magnet schools, along with those focused on science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM.

The rankings were compiled in partnership with RTI, a nonprofit global social science research firm. College readiness, college curriculum, state assessments, underserved student performance and graduation rate were factors considered in the rankings.

Only two of the 405 Massachusetts high school made the top 100: Boston Latin School which came in at No. 27 and the Pioneer Valley Chinese Immersion Charter School which came in at No. 100.
