Nine city public schools are ranked among the best in the country.
The prestigious Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan is ranked 23rd in U.S. News & World Report's annual list of the top 100 public schools in America.
The school was ranked 15th last year.
Stuyvesant was followed by the High School of American Studies at Lehman College at number 29, and Manhattan's Dual Language and Asian Studies High School, which was ranked 31st.
Staten Island Technical High School was ranked 32nd and Bronx Science High School came in at 33rd.
Long Island City's Baccalaureate School of Global Education came in 38th, Queens High School of Science came in 48th, Brooklyn Tech came in 67th and Queens's Townsend Harris High School came in 71st.
The report considers how students perform compared to statewide averages, the performance of minority and lower income students, and in some cases college preparedness.
More than 21,000 schools were reviewed using data from the 2006-2007 school year.
