[quote=Anonymous]I share the past posters' opinions about problems with these rankings. Jay Matthews says that he does not include TJHSST and similar schools because these are selective. Why is he now putting private schools on his list? At schools like the ones he has added to the list, you need to apply, be tested and provide recommendations just like selective public schools. I think it is inconsistent with Jay's own methodology to include schools that are not forced to take a kid just because he/she lives in the school's neighborhood, as is the case with many of the publics. Private schools can also counsel out kids who they think might not be coping. Private schools don't have to take kids with disabilities or IEPs. [/quote]
