Wake STEM Tops Local Rankings | Raleigh News

Wake STEM Early College High School in Cary just claimed the top local spot in U.S. News & World Report’s latest rankings, pushing Raleigh Charter down — and it’s just one of five Triangle schools now ranked among the nation’s top 500. North Carolina is shining nationally, with 13 schools cracking the top 500 and over 150 landing in the top 25 percent. Guilford’s Early College remains NC’s 1 public high school at 26 nationally, while elite specialized schools like the N.C. School of Science and Mathematics are excluded from these rankings. Based on college readiness, state test scores, AP/IB performance, graduation rates, and support for underserved students, these rankings aim to empower families making education choices. Data reflects the 2023-24 school year, revealing charter schools as major players in top-tier performance — both statewide and locally. This annual snapshot helps families navigate the educational landscape and find the best fit for their students’ futures.
