America's Top Public High Schools

[dtengineering]

I just want to make sure that everyone is taking this list about as seriously as when the National Enquirer runs a story on "Hollywoods Hottest 100 Stars".

They are both judged by equally scientific comparisons and are both equally as meaningful.

I am sure that there are some excellent high schools on the list, just as I am pretty sure that there might be some "hot" Hollywood Stars on the other list... that doesnt' mean the list is meaningful. The main purpose of the article... as much as the authors might protest... is to sell magazines.

There is no such thing as the "best" school for all students, just as no teacher is the "best" teacher for all students. The ultimate arbiter of a school's "goodness" is the student and their family.

So why correlate FRC teams to what is essentially little more than a random list?
