[quote=Anonymous]I am only talking about performance on the AP exams. I am not talking about "AP courses" and the like. I do not care about the courses. Anyone can sign up with a high school to take these AP exams, middle school students, homeschoolers and folk in regular courses. Those at the magnets and TJ have better performance by these metrics than the top area privates regardless of whether they take courses labelled AP or not. In fact, I know many who self-study (no formal courses) including middle school students. If you do not like the PSAT, SAT, AP exam metric we could examine other (e.g., Intel and Siemen's awards, USAMO, AIME, AMC, PISA, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science Olympiads. Are there any other metrics you would prefer to use? Or are your metrics non exam oriented and focus on college matriculation rates, legacy and bank accouunt?[/quote]
