It looks like you are a true professional. Did you study about the subject? haha

I am an international student. I want to find the best private school for myself, which can help me matriculate into a top university in America.

I really admire the time and efforts that USNEWS has put in doing the ranking of public schools. Since US private high schools are far fewer than public schools (22500, OMG!), could you bother to publish a ranking especially for private high schools? I am really looking forward to that!

I am so sad to have learnt that US public high schools are only open to domestic students and J-1 students, so I have to apply for private high schools.

It would be terrific that USNEWS could publish a private high schools ranking!

I belong to an Early College, which I can earn a two year degree and a high school diploma at the same time. Our graduates are graduating with 50 to 80 college credit hours, but since this ranking system is only based on IB and AP courses (which are not needed at our school since we are already taking college courses) schools such as mine get overlooked. Is there a way to include schools like mine?

By either a bulk list of locations in Lat/Long format, or with a Google Earth overlay? It would be handy to be able to visualize the location of the schools on the list relative to where you live, and in the context of other information.
