I don't think there is a simple answer to this one. There are hundreds or thousands of fine quality high schools across the US. Something you should probably focus on when deciding on one is the area. Be careful of some urban high schools, they may have bad reputations. But even in some with rather bad reputations for the area, they still are fine choices, since I attend one myself. The best way to decide would probably be to research the type of community the schools is in and covers, how affluent it is, test scores, and anything else you can think of to make it an amazing experience!
Best of luck to your sister, I'm sure she'll enjoy herself!

Yes, there are some very good, very strong public high schools in the US. But honestly, if you can afford it (and I'd imagine you can), she should apply to one of the elite private academies, such as Phillips Exeter, in New Hampshire, or Phillips Andover, in Massachusetts. These schools educate the sons of Presidents and foreign diplomats.
Others she could consider include:
Deerfield Academy (MA)
Choate Rosemary Hall (MA)
The Hill School
The Hotchkiss School
Milton Academy (MA)
Concord Academy (MA)
Kent School (in CT)
Lawrenceville School (NJ)
Groton Academy
Friends Academy (NY)
Horace Mann (NY)
Trinity School (NY)
Riverdale Country School (NY)
These schools are expensive, but the facilities! The students! The faculty! Wow.
If you really are looking for public high schools, Newsweek has a nice ranking, attached.

I don't know where she wants to go, but a really good high school in Texas is Cy-Fair High School in Cypress. It's outside of Houston, so it's not urban, but it is close enough to experience a big city type setting also. It is a 5A school, and has TONS of people consisting of TONS of nationalities and races! They have a great academic program, as well has very good athletics! Just keep it in mind :)

I would guess some of the traditional private prep schools on the East Coast, although if you are looking at public schools, it is very difficult to make those comparisons among thousands upon thousands of schools.
