Re: Top 100 schools

[Deborah Hall <deborahh@TENET.EDU>]

Dear Nancy and others interested LM-Netters,

My high school is #140 on the list. I was excited to see that we got a
fairly high ranking. My Principal was not too impressed because he thought
the analysis was flawed. He felt like a better indicator was how many
students took the AP tests and passed them rather than how many schools had
students register to take the AP's.  Our school is highly competitive and
probably would have done much better on this type of analysis. There are so
many criteria that one could use to determine which schools are tops.  Our
high school has 3000 students and is in one of the largest urban districts
(Houston) in the district.  We have a foreign language magnet which
attracts about 600 students and the IB program.  Most of our students are
not urban or inner-city like the rest of the school district.
