What's the BEST Public High School in the Capital Region?
When it comes to public high schools in the Capital Region, there's no shortage of great ones - and shout out to all of the teachers and educators who shape and mold our kids.
With that being said, bragging rights are on the line here, and there's a new number # 1 when it comes to the best public high schools in the Capital Region based upon data released by Niche.com, a company that runs a ranking and review site.
Here's how Niche.com ranked the Ten Best Public High Schools in the Capital Region for 2022:

#8 Columbia High School
#7 Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake
#6 Saratoga High School
#5 Shen High School
#4 Guilderland High School
#3 Bethlehem High School

Congrats to Shaker for being named the # 1 Public High School in the area. Niche gave high marks to the North Colonie School for its excellent teacher-studio ratio as well as student success.
