I have never really heard high schools referred to by a ranking event though I went to high school at the same timeframe you did.
Is this common? What's the measurement? State testing methods? Seems nebulous.
- kube-system 7y agoYes, any ranking on subjective criteria is nebulous. But it's definitely not uncommon to rank school performance. State testing is the easiest data to use because it's typically public information.
- discostrings 7y agoNow what's the matter buddy, ain't you heard of my school? It's #1 in the state! People have been true to their schools since at least 1963.
- smt88 7y agoAt the time I went to the school, there was a national ranking that used a variety of factors, including number of IB/AB courses per student, (P)SAT/ACT scores, and GPA. I absolutely don't think the ranking was meaningful, but it at least says something about how many of my classmates had affluent parents who put a lot of pressure on them to succeed.
