Cincinnati Country Day tops Seven Hills on Niche's 2024 Best Private High Schools list
Which is the No. 1 private high school in the Cincinnati area? According to Niche, a school ranking and review site, Cincinnati Country Day takes the top spot.
Niche recently released its 2024 ranking of the Best Private High Schools in the Cincinnati area, and Cincinnati Country Day ranked No. 1, beating Madisonville's Seven Hills School, which placed second.
To determine its findings, Niche evaluated nearly 2.5 million school reviews from students, parents and teachers across various factors ranging from college prep to cafeteria food.
Ranking factors include the quality of colleges that students consider, student-teacher ratio, private school ratings, and more.
This year, the review site removed SAT/ACT scores from the rankings to reflect a "general de-emphasis on test scores in the college admissions process," per the Niche website.
