[quote=Anonymous]Great for WIS. The ranking is because of the IB program. All WIS kids are required to take IB classes to graduate so the school, like other IB schools, does well on the percent of seniors taking IB/AP tests. Many of the private schools don't label their classes AP so the metrics used in the survey don't really apply. Of course this whole ranking has been criticized many times before, but the ranking itself is based on AP/IB tests per senior. However some of the schools with high rankings have pass rates below 50%. Others with lower rankings have pass rates nearer to 90%. Personally I'd rather (and do) have my kid in a school with high pass rates. [/quote]
