In terms of what actually counts (scores!) we are totally on top of it!
Our average SAT score is 1662, only 168 points less than that of the #1 school (Millburn), and higher than that of the school in 23rd place. 93% of students (assuming it's only counting those who take them) score 3 or higher on AP tests. That's better than Millburn which has a 91%. The only schools that did better are Livingston, Hopewell Valley Central, Eastern Regional, etc (only checked as far as the school ranked in 100th place).
Point is, our school isn't as shlumpy as some make it out to be. If you have a moment to spare,

Food for thought:
What's your opinion of our ranking?
Do you think it's fair for people's opinions of our schools to be based on these criteria?
Were you surprised to see how well we test?
I think our school is great, and the ranking is bs. :)
ReplyDeleteI COMPLETELY AGREE.
ReplyDeleteI think we're bigger than any school above us on that list (if not all, most).
And I'm tired of people from EB talking about how it's such a horrible school with horrible classes... just compare all our course options with other schools. How many other schools offer classes like Calc 3?
maybe we should write letters to all the ivies that our school is cool... they might like us better :'(
ReplyDeleteor maybe, because we're low ranked, they like us more?? o.O
