At the very least, a school has to agree to participate. My high school (#59, MSSM) has been on the list since 2007, but I know that he had to okay us being ranked. At the very least, I can say I'm very happy with the education I received.

Here you can see the number of schools in a state versus the number who are ranked.

It's also worth noting that this data lags a bit, it's based off of the AP scores of the graduating class of 2008.
