I agree. How can you say someplace is the "Best High School in America" solely on the number of AP/IB tests that its students took? That's only one single factor, and to give the #1 distinction based solely on that factor just doesn't seem right.

And guess what, Rochester isn't on the list either... we *only* had 400 AP tests taken this year.
