Our final national high school top 25 in-season rankings are here and there was a huge shakeup from our last rankings.

In a shakeup at the top, Corona (California) moves back into the No. 1 spot after opening the season at No. 1 and then spending the last several weeks at No. 2 after IMG Academy took over the top spot.

The Panthers are in the CIF Southern Section Division 1 state semifinals this week, where they will take on No. 14 Crespi (Encino, California) for a trip to the state finals.

In another shakeup, Puyallup (Washington) remained unbeaten and slides into the No. 2 spot, leaping IMG Academy, which falls from No. 1 after the Ascenders have been idle since their season ended on Apr. 25.

The entire top 5 got a shakeup this week, as Stoneman Douglas (Parkland, Florida) moves to No. 4 after an impressive run to the Florida 7A state championship and St. John Bosco (Bellflower, California) jumps from No. 19 to No. 5.

As our rankings continue, so do the changes. This is the biggest shakeup we’ve seen all season, as nine new teams join the top 25 this week: No. 8, Corpus Christi Calallen (Corpus Christi, Texas); 9, Kingwood (Kingwood, Texas); 12, Miller School of Albemarle (Charlottesville, Virginia); 16, Brother Rice (Chicago, Illinois); 17, South Salem (Salem, Oregon); 18, Staley (Staley, Missouri); 19, Basic (Henderson, Nevada); 20, Sam Houston (Lake Charles, Louisiana); 21, Ballard (Louisville, Kentucky).

Not one spot on our top 25 is the same this week. Check the final 2025 top 25 in-season rankings below.
