The US World and News uses many parameters to check the Yale University rankings. Some of them are the average 6 year graduation rate, average first-year retention rate, student-faculty ratio, faculty members salaries rank and many others.

Look at these parameters with their weightage -

Yale University Ranking Criteria (US News)	Weightage
Average 6-year graduation rate	16%
6-year graduation rate of students who received a Pell Grant	5.5%
6-year graduation rate of students who did not receive a Pell Grant	5.5%
Average first-year student retention rate	5%
Over performance (+)/Underperformance (-)	10%
Median federal loan debt for graduation borrowers	5%
College grads earning more than a HS grad	5%
Student-Faculty Ratio	3%
Faculty salaries rank	6%
Percent of faculty who are full-time	2%
