[quote=Anonymous]The US News methodology either includes or kicks out schools from year to year based upon how various sub-groups do on state tests. One year George Mason in Falls Church was #2 in the state, and the next year it was unranked. this year it is again highly ranked. Last year, no APS school was ranked, and this year both Yorktown and W-L are in the top 20 in the state. And so on. It is somewhat ironic that, last year, when APS schools were unranked, some people in Arlington swore that APS had "opted out" of the rankings, rather than simply acknowledge that the US News methodology might kick out schools based on how certain sub-groups performed on SOLs a few years earlier.
