[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The list was interesting.  I went through all 500.  Maybe I need a hobby.

It's annoying that Fairfax county has the #1 school, but none of the other high schools in the county ranked.  There's something very wrong with this.  New Jersey makes us look like bumpkins.[/quote]

Check this thread, this will clarify why not many FCPS schools in the list.

The above thread doesn't clarify why FCPS schools are not ranked in top 500.[/quote]

Read the thread properly ...

Not All FCPS schools participated in the survey. To come up with the rankings, schools were asked to provide data through questionnaire for the rankings. Newsweek did not do the analysis themselves.

That is the conclusion..

Now why all FCPS schools did not provide the data ? I don't know.

You know for a fact that only TJ participated and none of the other FCPS high schools participated?[/quote]

You keep asking me dumb questions..

Do you know for the fact all the schools in FCPS submitted their data ?

Yes, I know for a fact that only TJ participated and may be couple more FCPS high schools may have participated participated..

The below is 2013 year's data.. And it has 2000 high school in the country.. except 2-3 FCPS schools others are not even in the list..

Select Virginia and tell me how many "FCPS" schools are in the list .. 
http://www.newsweek.com/2013/05/06/america-s-best-high-schools.html

So, what this survey means is out of 2000 schools in the country only 3 FCPS schools are ranked in top 2000 ???

For 2015, 6 of the top 10 are from New Jersey.. I mean common !!![/quote]

Learn how to write coherently and to spell correctly (and I do not mean ones caused by "auto-correct") before calling someone "dumb". It wouldn't hurt to actually review the methodology (or at least the summary) before making incorrect assumptions about the said methodology.[/quote]

looks like you want to divert the conversation by making useless comments about spelling and grammar..

Looks like he pointed out what was obvious about the rankings..  He agrees with whatever methodology newsweek used and it is flawed.

Guess you need some critical thinking skills, although your english is coherent and grammar is flawless. [/quote]
