Texas Gov. Greg Abbott took to social media Sunday to boast that Texas placed more public high schools in the nation\u2019s top 150 than any other state. <\/p>\n

He based the claim on a new ranking by U.S. News & World Report of the best schools for the 2025-2026 academic year<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnother step on the path to being #1 in education,\u201d Abbott boasted in his tweet. <\/p>\n

Another step on the path to being #1 in education.<\/p>\n

Texas has more public high schools in America’s top 150 than any state.<\/p>\n

That includes 10 public schools in the top 100 U.S. High Schools.<\/p>\n

Appearing to sweeten the pot, San Antonio is home to three of the campuses ranked in the top 150: BASIS San Antonio-Shavano Campus, the Young Women\u2019s Leadership Academy and Health Careers High School.<\/p>\n

BASIS San Antonio-Shavano Campus \u2014\u00a0a STEM-focused public charter school where admission is based on a lottery system \u2014 landed at No. 58. Meanwhile, Young Women\u2019s Leadership Academy, a lottery-admission public high school within San Antonio Independent School District, came in at No. 98.<\/p>\n

Both schools have 100% AP participation and graduation rates. Both schools also boast low student-teacher ratios.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, NEISD\u2019s Health Careers High School, a public magnet school with an application process, ranked 137th in the nation, with a 100% graduation rate and a 94% AP participation rate.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, Abbott\u2019s definition of \u201cpublic high school\u201d is dubious at best, since not just anyone who lives in SAISD or San Antonio can attend the schools mentioned above.<\/p>\n

In that case, NEISD\u2019s Ronald Reagan High School is the best true public high school in San Antonio, since it pulled a No. 1,029 ranking in U.S. News\u2019 latest roundup. <\/p>\n
