Newsweek's Top High Schools

[EricH]

#3 had FRC 1135 (not competing any more); not sure of VRC or FTC numbers. Also FLL.
#22 has FRC 687.
#32 has FRC 812.
#67 has FRC 192.
#70 has FRC 115.
#80 is in FRC 2404, IIRC.
#83 has FRC 8.

There are a couple of others that I think have teams, but I'm not sure which teams. (#1, #10, #21, #58, #73, #78, #79, #81)

I also noticed the #2 school, Chris.

If all goes well, then #11 High Tech High will have an FRC team soon.

#31 Stuyvesant High in NYC is home of 694 StuyPulse

#18 The Early College at Guilford is the anchor (with ~3 other high schools) for FRC 1533 Triple Strange.

Actually, High Technology High already had a FIRST team, but they folded after the 2003 season to compete in a underwater robotics competition (not sure which). I've worked with an alumnus who was on their FIRST team and spearheaded the effort to compete in the underwater competition.

I agree with Jason, this list is pretty arbitrary and not very credible.

An example:
High Tech High (not to be confused with the aforementioned school) has never made this list. Yet schools from around the world, including many on this list, spend weeks at High Tech High figuring out how they can replicate its success at their school. I'm not saying High Tech High should be #1, but certainly it deserves placement on this list in my opinion...

Actually, #80 has FRC2429 (2008 Rookie All-Star in Los Angeles). FRC2404 was Rookie All-Star at the same event. BTW, their schools are less than 2 miles apart.

375 is ranked #34 but we agree along with teams 1346 and 1718 that these numbers are arbitrary, and statistical data can be manipulated. What really counts is the education you receive not the ranking.
