yes, it did.. this list is complete shiiiit though cause it only measures how many students take AP. Very poor way of quantifying high schools.

^^^ true. because i went to a high school that was based on the IB program and some AP courses. so my school happened to be the the number one high school in the city for public schools. i'm not surprised it made it on the list also. it's like number 259.

I think most people would agree that the list is very insubstantial.

76 Boston Latin Boston Mass. 3.588 31.000 64.800

I dont think this list is very accurate though. There are a lot of good schools that didn't even make the list.

my school is never on this list.

It's only because the average score on the SATs/ACTs/etc in my school is like, way higher than other schools. smile.gif

Basically, some magnet schools simply aren't eligible for this list, lol.

The list is legit... but it is based on numbers that seem to not really prove anything at all.
