Your school is not on the list.

Only two New Hampshire schools made the list.

Hollis Brookline- 1073 (ranks 1228)
Southegan- 138 (ranks 1467)

#56 is a relatively new charter school from Hawthorne, CA, a poorer area. The two closest public schools are in the bottom 20% of the state rankings.

Lincoln College Prep Academy, home of the Tigerbytes team #1775, is 127 on the list.

One indication of wealth is the "Subs Lunch" number. Higher numbers reflect a higher percentage of students who get subsidized meals at school. Schools numbered 9 and 10 have subsidized lunch numbers of 2% and 100% respectively. The whole range is represented.

Issaquah High School made the cut at number 1106.

My other son attends Interlake High School (Saints Robotics FRC 1899 & Rick Tyler's favorite adopted VEX team ;) ) did well on the Newsweek survey at number 18.

469 is ranked #22. Many other teams are also on the list, some from teams in more than one school, including 503, 226, 217, 247, 1189, 1504, and others that I can't recall the numbers right now.
I remember back in 2005 not only was their school number one but the robotics teams was the main picture for the article showing off their Championship trophy and robot.

Interesting to note that the rating is based on number of tests taken but doesn't reflect performance on the tests. Some schools force all or most of their kids to take AP level courses and subsidize the costs of the tests as well and pass rates are not impressive...I would prefer to see the average scores considered as part of the criterion for ratings.

Almost half of Team 980's students attend South Pasadena HS (ranked #787).

There are a bunch of SoCal FRC teams whose schools are on the list, several have already been mentioned.

Has anyone compared the percentage of schools on the list that have FIRST teams with the percentage of schools not on the list? Or rather, it may be easier to compare to the percentage of schools nationwide that have FIRST teams.

the majority of 179's students come from Suncoast, ranked #7 this year and was 3rd last year. every one of them would tell you that these rating mean nothing for the exact reasons mentioned by JB, they were actually angry that the district was making it seem like an accomplishment.
