Newsweek puts this list out each year.
Is your school on it and where?
Is there a relationship between FIRST and “top” high schools?
Hauppauge is 394
Too bad it wasn’t ranked 358 
P.S.
I looked at the Long Island schools for this FRC list. Some of the FRC teams are now defunct.

For the LI teams PoBots came closest to matching their FRC team number #350 for team 353.
Here are some previous threads on top high school lists:
Team 469’s school was 1 in 2003, and had a picture in Newsweek. They are 22nd this year.
#406 is team 2068
There are 33 teams from Michigan in the rankings - which is as close to the list that Killer Bees will get, since they’re not from a public school. 
469 is ranked #22. Many other teams are also on the list, some from teams in more than one school, including 503, 226, 217, 247, 1189, 1504, and others that I can’t recall the numbers right now.
1189’s two schools are ranked 857 & 434…same district, same curriculum, but very different ranks. At North, where I go, a lot of kids take AP classes just because. Hardly anyone takes normal Psych, they all take AP instead. There’s also a lot of pressure from parents, teachers, etc. A lot of kids end up in AP classes because of pressure, and they end up doing badly in the classes because of it.
Is it like this in any other schools?
half of 1675 (we’re a two school collaboration) is ranked 271. The other half is a technical school and I don’t think it offers AP (and I know not IB) classes.
I’m wondering if the wealth of the school has anything to do with how well it ranks. Schools with more money can help pay for more tests…
Team 1923 is made of two schools, West Windsor-Plainsboro North, which is ranked #678 and South, which is #510. Both schools are recognized as Blue Ribbon, and are ranked within the top 10 every year for the state.
LASA, Team 418, aka Purple Haze is #35
There’s a bunch of schools from Texas. I also noticed that 2468, Westlake, is #72, 2583 from Westwood is 88, and 2158 from Anderson is #466. Killeen, FRC 647, is #955. That’s as far as I’ve gotten.
I did a search for Austin and Round Rock schools and it looks like nearly every school listed has a BEST robotics team.
Team 1771 - North Gwinnett High School - Rank 212
Team 1261 - Peachtree Ridge High School - Rank 648
While It is apparent that there is somewhat of a correlation, I don’t think that it is that big of a factor. 40 or so students out of 3000+ students cannot change the numbers that much.
I can’t even get the page to load…I guess I won’t make the list.
Most, if not all, of the Northern Ohio schools I recognize from that list are in well-to-do communities, some extremely so.
Ottowa[sp?] Hills. -_-
Can somebody check our team’s school for me, i can’t get the page to load (my connection is so bad right now i’m only getting 70% of the page >_< )
its Toledo Technology Academy. thanks =)
ps, if i hadn’t gone back to this page to tell everybody this, my view would have been the 279’th view XD
#162 (Connecticut’s top high school for the year, Farmington) is Team 178, The Enforcers.
2585 from Bellaire is #135, 1898 from Westside is #183, 624 from Cinco Ranch is #458, 2587 from Lamar is #838, 2880 from Ball is #976
Your school is not on the list.
Only two New Hampshire schools made the list.
Hollis Brookline- 1073 (ranks 1228)
Southegan- 138 (ranks 1467)
56 is a relatively new charter school from Hawthorne, CA, a poorer area. The two closest public schools are in the bottom 20% of the state rankings.
Team 294 is #299 with Mira Costa, and #738 with Redondo Union.
687 is #351
589’s school is #346
