RYE, NY — In all, 38 Hudson Valley schools are ranked among the top 200 in the New York metro region, according to new rankings from U.S. News & World Report. Rye High School is in that elite group.

U.S. News says it used the same methodology to compile the metro-area rankings as it did for the national rankings. Metros areas were matched to their corresponding core-based statistical areas as defined by the government. The U.S. Census Bureau says metro areas and micropolitan areas (which have a population of between 10,000 and 50,000) are collectively referred to as core-based statistical areas.
