Read it. I question Newsweek's methodology. Like US News and World Report, they rely on self-reported information from principals and district officials instead of readily available data from DoE/NCES. 40% of a school's score is based upon Advanced Placement examinations and their equivalents. There is currently a vigorous debate about AP/IB, etc. Fewer selective schools are accepting AP or IB scores as course equivalents.
I'd like to know more about why Newsweek chooses to rank high schools using these methods. What's the ultimate purpose?
