Well anyway i've got some beef with this, if you didn't know and just looked up your school, they simply just took the Number of AP tests given at your school and divided that by the number of graduating seniors. What kind of ranking system is that? They didn't even take in to consideration SATs, ACTs, College Placement, Cost per Student, and stuff like that. They didn't even label if the school was Public or Private.

Oh but wait i haven't even gotten to my good point yet, they didn't even count some of the more famous schools in the Nation that are, in fact Public, schools like Stuyvesant in New York (home of 694) or Thomas Jefferson in Va or the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy in Ill. or Lowell High in San Francisco so you may be in the top 100, but not really the top 100 in the nation. The reason they gave why those schools weren't on the list? They were too selective, the schools that are on the top of the list, guess what! they are mostly selective public schools!

Well anyway its a cool stat, but its Totally Mislabeled.

I don't think the list is a 100% accurate barometer of the quality of the school. Things like graduation rate, facilities, courses and programs, how many students went on to collage and the level of degrees those students got and such should also be accounted for.
