That's what US News does.  It's why Madison HS dropped out of the rankings this past year.  You aren't eligible if you have a sub-group that is under-performing compared to the average for that particular sub-group within the same state.   [/quote]
That seems a bit harsh to make in "ineligible," but honestly...if a subgroup at Madison is performing worse at Madison than the rest of the state, then they should be dinged.   Although, I find it hard to believe that Madison would perform worse with certain sub-groups than other schools in the state.

And for what it's worth, the overall population of each subgroup within each school would also need to be taken into account.

Read the description - Madison clearly got dinged (i.e., not rated) because of Step 2 in the US News methodology:   https://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/articles/how-us-news-calculated-the-rankings

It would have been among the top 10 in the state had only Steps 1, 3 and 4 been at issue. [/quote]
