America's Top Public High Schools
 
Newsweek puts this list out each year.
Is your school on it and where?
Is there a relationship between FIRST and "top" high schools?

Re: America's Top Public High Schools
 
Hauppauge is 394
Too bad it wasn't ranked 358 :)


P.S.
I looked at the Long Island schools for this FRC list. Some of the FRC teams are now defunct.
Code:

Rank        Team #    School
37                            Jericho (defunct)
54            2638        Great Neck South
76            2875        Cold Spring Harbor
110          496          Vandermeulen
116          2872        Wheatley
158                          Manhasset  (defunct)
167          1803        Schreiber
207          373          Locust Valley  (defunct)
267          2869        Bethpage
350          353          Plainview-Old Bethpage JFK
389          514          Miller Place
394          358          Hauppauge
468          1554        Oceanside
610          1019        Westhampton Beach  (defunct)
642          352          Carle Place
656          28            Pierson
765          263          Sachem North
950          1358        MacArthur
957          569          W. Tresper Clarke
967          263          Sachem East
997          2161        Walt Whitman
1097        1751        Comsewogue
1174        1606        Division Avenue
1178        2487        Sayville
1385        527          Plainedge
1401        311          East Islip  (defunct)

For the LI teams PoBots came closest to matching their FRC team number #350 for team 353.

Here are some previous threads on top high school lists:

Team 469's school was #1 in 2003, and had a picture in Newsweek. They are 22nd this year.

#406 is team 2068

Re: America's Top Public High Schools
 
There are 33 teams from Michigan in the rankings - which is as close to the list that Killer Bees will get, since they're not from a public school. :D

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.

Re: America's Top Public High Schools
 
1189's two schools are ranked 857 & 434...same district, same curriculum, but very different ranks. At North, where I go, a lot of kids take AP classes just because. Hardly anyone takes normal Psych, they all take AP instead. There's also a lot of pressure from parents, teachers, etc. A lot of kids end up in AP classes because of pressure, and they end up doing badly in the classes because of it.

Is it like this in any other schools?

Re: America's Top Public High Schools
 
half of 1675 (we're a two school collaboration) is ranked 271. The other half is a technical school and I don't think it offers AP (and I know not IB) classes.


I'm wondering if the wealth of the school has anything to do with how well it ranks. Schools with more money can help pay for more tests...

Team 1923 is made of two schools, West Windsor-Plainsboro North, which is ranked #678 and South, which is #510. Both schools are recognized as Blue Ribbon, and are ranked within the top 10 every year for the state.

There's a bunch of schools from Texas. I also noticed that 2468, Westlake, is #72, 2583 from Westwood is #88, and 2158 from Anderson is #466. Killeen, FRC 647, is #955. That's as far as I've gotten.

I did a search for Austin and Round Rock schools and it looks like nearly every school listed has a BEST robotics team.

Re: America's Top Public High Schools
 
Team 1771 - North Gwinnett High School - Rank 212

Team 1261 - Peachtree Ridge High School - Rank 648

While It is apparent that there is somewhat of a correlation, I don't think that it is that big of a factor. 40 or so students out of 3000+ students cannot change the numbers that much.

Most, if not all, of the Northern Ohio schools I recognize from that list are in well-to-do communities, some extremely so.
