| The Top High Schools |
|
| A Web-exclusive extended list of the nation’s top
high schools |
|
Public schools are ranked according to a ratio called the
Challenge Index devised by Jay Mathews: the number of Advanced
Placement or International Baccalaureate tests taken by all students
at a school in 2002 divided by the number of graduating seniors.
Schools that chose more than half of their students by grades or
test scores were not considered because the index is designed to
identify schools that challenge average students and does not work
well with schools that have few or no average students. The schools
ranked below have the strongest AP or IB programs in the country.
Each of them is in the top four percent of all American high schools
measured this way. If you know of a public school that belongs on
the list, with at least as many AP or IB tests as graduates in 2002,
contact Jay Mathews at
mathewsj@washpost.com.
