[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to US News, Oakton is better. True?[/quote]

And how can Marshall be so far ahead of Woodson?[/quote]

College Readiness score:

TJ 100%, Mclean 77.3%, Langley 76.5%, Oakton, 74.2; Marshall 73.6, 
Everyone else is below 70%. Two richmond high school are in the 69%, but their enrollment is only around 200, while top 5 high school has 2000 students each.

Why is the number of students relevant? Isn't college readiness based on the proportion taking/passing AP/IB exams?

There is also college curriculum breadth (10%) which is "calculated among a school's 2020-2021 12th graders from the percentage who took, and the percentage who earned qualifying scores on, multiple AP or IB exams. Students who took exams and earned qualifying scores in four AP or IB content areas earned full credit. Those who earned qualifying scores in two or three AP or IB content areas were given partial credit of 50% and 75%, respectively."

This part seems to be based solely on those who took and earned qualifying scores on multiple AP/IB exams. So a school could have proportionally more students taking/passing AP/IB exams but if a larger proportion are not doing so in all four content areas then they get penalized.
