U.S. News and World Report released its ninth annual rankings of pediatric hospitals, and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta landed near the top.

In the 2015-16 rankings, 83 hospitals made the list, with the top 12 earning a spot on the honor roll.

The hospitals were ranked in 10 specialties: cancer, cardiology and heart surgery, diabetes & endocrinology, gastroenterology and GI surgery, neonatology, nephrology, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopedics, pulmonology, and urology.

The top 12 received high scores in three or more specialties.

This was the first time Children's Healthcare made the honor roll, tying for No. 11 with Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.
