Education should matter in ratings, not demographics.

We're in global economy. There are 1+ billion of asians (as well as 1+ billion of indians) on Earth. They are majority!

If you were looking for school for your gifted child, would your major criterion be - school that has most minorities and disabled kids (e.g. special ed)?

I would like to know why private and religious high schools, which number in the thousands are excluded from the report. Afterall, these students take the same courses, especially the AP courses,as their public school counterparts.

Asians are not counted as minorities in the stats, so the final rankings of high schools may be skewed.

It's time to stop the minority discrimination!
