[quote=Anonymous][quote=sukupa]What puzzles me is the US News raking for Springbrook is higher (#12) than Northwood (#20). But Greatschools ranking for Northwood (7/10) is higher than Springbrook (4/10). It seems to me that even with program like PLTW, Springbrook is underperforming. [/quote] Springbrook has an IB program that is marginal as well. If a school has a bad principal, as is the case with Springbrook, it's hard for academic progress to be made. US News and World Report does school rankings to generate revenue. I would never use its rankings for anything - its methodology is weak. Is there even a US News and World Report magazine anymore?[/quote]
