Misleading Report Title

1. Even if one accepts the research criteria, the report would be more appropriately titled "America's Best Public High Schools" due to the lack of private high school inclusion.

2. The emphasis placed on state test scores lessens the validity of state-to-state and national comparisons because of the variety of content and difficulty levels of the individual state tests. It would be better to focus on common national tests (PSAT/SAT, ACT, AP, IB) that would also allow for private schools to be included in the study.

world education high school and college ratings

How to I get comparisons of U. S. ratings against other world education ratings. Where does the U.S. stand in these ratings.

Ranking Comparison

I was wondering how the Unionville Chadds Ford school district rank nationally. The Unionville School district is currently rank number one in the state of PA. Do you have any comparison information nationally ranked against other out of state high schools or districts.

Ranking comparison

Conestoga Senior High School (T/E school district), Radnor Senior High School (Radnor School district) and Great Valley Senior High School (Great Valley School district), all in PA. I was wondering how these three districts/schools ranked (numerically) nationally against one another. I found comparions, but not actual numeric rankings. Do you have an overall list that shows this?

Thank you
