Rady Children's had five specialties rank among the top 10 in the nation (Pediatric Cardiology & Heart Surgery #3; Orthopedics #6; Neonatology #7; Neurology & Neurosurgery #8; Diabetes & Endocrine Disorders #8) and maintained its seven-year streak of achieving rankings in all 10 specialties surveyed. Only 23 hospitals nationwide were ranked in all 10 specialties.

Rady Children's 2023–2024 complete rankings are as follows:

"I'm so proud of our incredible nurses, doctors, researchers and team members from every department and division across Rady Children's and the UC San Diego School of Medicine," said Patrick Frias, MD, President and CEO of Rady Children's. "Achieving Honor Roll status is a tribute to their unwavering dedication to providing the highest level of care to our patients and families."

U.S. News, together with RTI International, a North Carolina-based research and consulting firm, collected and analyzed data from 199 children's hospitals and surveyed thousands of pediatric specialists. One hundred twenty-two children's hospitals completed the comprehensive survey comprised of more than 2,000 questions. Those awarded a "Best" designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level and quality of hospital resources directly related to patient care and expert opinion among pediatric specialists.
