Someone above already said 15 out of 195-ish countries is pretty good, but more specifically, it's actually kinda on par for the US.
While its easy to assume the US is #1 on many metrics due simply to having the largest economy, it's not in the top 10 in areas such as quality of life, quality of education, press freedom, crime, and so on. The US's biggest asset is its diversity and I doubt the US will ever be #1 in most of these areas while it retains the power of its diversity.
