| I wish they would have a separate list for application schools. I would rather see a list for schools that have to take everyone. |

It's available on the link the PP posted. The full listing lists schools that are zoned schools as well. Most magnet schools or specialized schools have an application process. |

Congrats on being named the best high school in the country! You, the students, are doing great despite all the hate. |

i know they are on the list, I wish they would have two lists. It is not always easy to see if the school is a general public school or an application school. At some point they used to exclude magnets and application schools and they changed their minds to include them. I preferred the prior. |

Agreed. The made-up criteria by US News is quite arbitrary and self-fulfilling. For example, US News came up with "college readiness index" which simply looks at the percentage of kids who took and passed an AP exam. So of course magnet schools would be high up there. A typical school that serves a very poor and disadvantaged population obviously won't have the luxury of having so many kids able and ready to take AP exams. If US News instead had a metric that tracked improvement of low-performing kids at a school over some years, then one could actually conclude that the school was truly doing a good job. |

As someone who used to worked as an institutional researcher at a university and manipulated the data that gets sent over to US News, I totally agree with this. All of you realize these are self-reported results right? |
