很多申请美高的家长渐渐发现，美国公立学校课程安排不够“给力”，师资不够雄厚，孩子经常在学术上有“吃不饱”的感觉。
但是由于美国学校以其顶尖的教育，优渥的教育资源和完备的教育体系及学生升入名校的高比例让依旧让很多家长心动，很多家长开始考虑安排孩子就读私立学校。
这个排名参考的主要数据包括各个学校的SAT/ACT平均分，师生人数比，大学入学考试参与比，学生进入大学质量，以及毕业生和家长们对学校的满意程度等。
虽然美国的顶尖私立学校分布于很多个州，但是最优秀的教育资源依然是集中在加州和东部的新英格兰地区: 榜单前25名有22所在加州和东部的新英格兰地区，前100名加州和东部的新英格兰地区占了70所。
相对前两年的榜单前25名发生了很大变化: 排前十名的三所纽约私立学校全都跌出前25名之外，排名不变的只有Phillips Academy(菲利普斯学院)依然雄踞榜首。
