My school got the National Blue Ribbon thing too in 1999, 2000, and 2001 in Pennsylvania, but it's not up there.

Darn you DeathsHand! You live near some of the best schools in the country and you don't even bother to attend them! :mad:

Damn, I think my school would be in the top 50 if this included private schools.

Go Palos Verdes and Beverly Hills! I have friends who go to both of those. I got to private school, Im not on there...

333 . Palmer* | Colorado Springs | Colo. | 1.517

That is my first high school. I am shocked that the school I graduated from is not on there.

But of course, it was kind of considered to be a private school so maybe its not allowed to be on the list.

That list doesn't say what the best schools are--- it says which schools dumb down their AP programs enough for the averege student to take them-- the public school I used to attend, is great, incredible SAT's, wonderful education, but they only let kids into AP's who they feel can do well in a class that truly is on a college level... not just anyone who feel like taking it.

Well remember, Kitana85, that the list gives scores according to how many people get passing grades on the AP. I personally think that should mean grades of 4 or 5 because getting a 3 is really quite easy to do. But the list does have some standards.

I agree on that one. I got a three on the English grammar AP and I wasn't in an AP class and didn't study for it at all.

How about finding out the 100 WORST high schools in America. that would be more interesting. I know Erasmus(Brooklyn) would definitely be in the top 10.
