U.S. News & World Report Ranking Methodology
U.S. News & World Report introduced the Best Children’s Hospitals ranking to help families of children with rare or life-threatening illnesses find the best medical care available. The rankings are the most comprehensive source of quality-related information on U.S. pediatric hospitals.
The U.S. News & World Report Best Children’s Hospital rankings rely on clinical data from pediatric medical centers through a detailed survey that analyzes measures such as patient safety, infection prevention and adequacy of nurse staffing. In addition, each hospital’s score is derived from surveys of more than 35,000 eligible pediatric specialists who are asked where they would send the sickest children in their specialty. In 2024, only 88 children’s hospitals were ranked in at least one of the 10 pediatric specialties evaluated for this annual report. Ten hospitals, including Texas Children’s Hospital, ranked at the top of their class and were named to the 2024-2025 Honor Roll.
