A total of four Upper West Side private high schools made a recent ranking of the 100 best in New York City.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Niche released its annual rankings<\/a> of the best schools in the United States, where it analyzed 93,000 public schools and 30,000 private schools across the country.<\/p>\n

Four Upper West Side schools landed spots in Niche\u2019s ranking of New York City\u2019s 100 best private schools for 2027.<\/p>\n

The top-ranked New York City private high school in the neighborhood? The Collegiate School.<\/p>\n

#14: The Collegiate School at 301 Freedom Place South (between West 61st and 62nd streets)
\n#20: Trinity School at 139 West 91st Street (between Amsterdam and Columbus)
\n#31: Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School at 5 West 93rd Street (between Columbus and Central Park West)
\n#72: The Calhoun School at 433 West End Avenue (between West 80th and 81st streets)<\/p>\n

Niche\u2019s rankings combine federal and state data, school statistics, and over 3 million reviews from students, parents, and teachers, to evaluate schools. You can read more about Niche\u2019s methodology in the seven-step breakdown of its process \u2014 HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n

It is the first time since at least 2018 that no Upper West Side private school earned a spot in Niche\u2019s top 10 for New York City.<\/p>\n

West Side Rag did note some discrepancies in Niche\u2019s filtering system, as schools outside of the five boroughs were grouped into New York City.<\/p>\n

For example, Rye Country Day School in Rye, New York, continued to appear as the fifth-best private high school in New York City. The Rag changed the rankings accordingly to not include schools outside of the city.<\/p>\n

Most eye-catching is Trinity\u2019s ranking as the 20th best private high school in New York City.<\/p>\n
