Best High Schools (Updated)

wat about Laguardia H.S., Brooklyn Tech. H.S., Bronx Science H.S., and Styuvesent H.S.

I think ranking the high schools and constantly updating the ranks is a good idea because now it gives the schools some pressure and incentive to perform well. However, the rankings are still somewhat inaccurate because more APs doesn't necessarily mean better performance.

Top Schools

I agree with Dr. Cosby and others, most schools are not equiped or staffed with the best, and therefore, they can not update their exspectations academically. If you think about it, funding has a lot to do with it. With that being said, it is sad, but nonetheless, we will get better; optimism is key!

Best High Schools

Central High School, the 2nd oldest high school in the nation, was always rated as one of the very best high schools in the country.

How come you don't rate Central anywhere?

Best High Schools

There is NO way the schools selected from my state are academically superior. Someone must have given them the answers for the test! Wilcox Central is more infamous for the fights, stabbings, and drugs. The cops are called to the school board meetings often. And...Everyone complains about how corrupt the system is. This article is a crock!

Wilcox Central

The person who wrote the comment about Wilcox Central probably has never been in our school. We have really worked hard in the past years and haave accomplished many mile stones. "SPeak that you know and testify to that you see".

Alabama

It's great to see Alabama Schools making the list. It just goes to show what great progress has been made in recent years to bring our educational systems up to par with the rest of the nation.

Pike County High School

I am so happy to see Pike County High School rank among the nation's top schools! It has a great Business and Finance Academy. I received a great education from PCHS and I am glad the nation has recognized Pike County High School!
