Public schools are ranked according to a ratio devised by Jay Mathews: the number of Advanced Placement, Intl. Baccalaureate and/or Cambridge tests taken by all students at a school in 2007 divided by the number of graduating seniors. All of the schools on the list have an index of at least 1.000; they are in the top 5 percent of public schools measured this way. If you have 2007 data showing that your school should be on this list, please contact Mathews at challenge@washpost.com. Note: Subs. Lunch % is the percentage of students receiving federally subsidized meals. E and E % stands for equity and excellence percentage: the portion of all graduating seniors at a school that had at least one passing grade on one AP or IB test. For more information on methodology, see our FAQ; please leave your comments on the list in the comments box below.

俺最近搬家。搬到新地方买房子最主要是考虑学校。 新地方有一所高中很好,可是那里的房子很贵又很旧。三番考虑,还是咬牙买了一栋很贵又很旧的房子,还要修理。那个高中排行在去年前年都是四百多名接近三百,今年进入三百名中间位置了。为了孩子,这个钱值得花。 - Re: The Top of the Class----The complete list of the 1,300 top U.S. high schoolsposted on 05/19/2008
高中排名有许多个,这个只是根据AP的排名,似乎不是很能代表最好高中。许多好的公立高中并不支持AP,所有在公私立一起排的top100(根据入好大学的情况排)里出现的公立反而在这个单子上不名列前茅。 - Re: The Top of the Class----The complete list of the 1,300 top U.S. high schoolsposted on 05/20/2008
我比较痛恨这样的排名,精确到个位的评价系统都是吃饱了撑,分一个first tier, second tier ……不就得了?那样还少些误导。
