W!se created the "100 Best W!se High Schools Teaching Personal Finance" list, now in its sixth year, to recognize schools of excellence in its national network of participants in its Financial Literacy Certification program. The 100 Best Schools rankings represent 18 out of the 46 states that participated in the program last year with enrollments ranging from 76 students in the smallest school,
"Preparing our young people for a life of financial wellness through personal finance education is of the utmost importance," said
New York City Council Minority
"Financial literacy is essential if students are to achieve financial independence and social mobility as adults," noted Borelli. "I applaud W!se for helping so many young Americans to harness this knowledge at such a young age."
The "100 Best" is the first and only national ranking in the field of personal finance education and is determined based on the average Certification Test score from each school with consideration given to the number of test takers and the socio-economic background of the students at each school.
W!se's award-wining Financial Literacy Certification program provides schools with the curriculum and resources to support their personal finance instruction and to measure students' financial literacy when they take the Financial Literacy Certification Test. Students passing the Test become Certified Financially Literateā¢ a nationally recognized credential.
