Um...
Where is Hunter College High School of NYC? I don't see how this list could have possibly omitted it.
No CTE schools on the list
Not a single Career and Technical Ed focused school is on this list. (Typical) We need to expand our thinking of what makes a school "The Best". Obviously, these people know nothing about Francis Tuttle Technical Institute in Oklahoma City or Puget Sound Skills Center in Seattle.
My other point: how long would a dysfunctional chair throwing out of control Special Ed kid last at a achool like Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology before he's given a one way short-bus ride to a low performing school that would not make a list like this?
No Stuyvesant High School -- WRONG!
Stuyvesant was on the first page of the listings.
