[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Platinum should be 50% score a 4 or 5.  A 3 is a low bar for many of the exams.[/quote]
Maybe your standards are warped by the DMV. My well-regarded suburban Connecticut high school is “only” a gold. [/quote]

PP and nope I’m not warped by the DMV.  I went to a well regarded suburban NY hs and it’s platinum.  I am a teacher- AP is pushed hard at DC schools.  A 3 in at least one AP is not that hard.  Some APs are taught as full year courses but are really a semester in college.  Some APs are mostly about reading comprehension.  Sorry, that bar for platinum is low.[/quote]

It’s interesting that the school bar is low but the individual scholar award bars are pretty high, or they were. [/quote]

There’s not much upside to identifying the top 1% of high schools. Most of them are going to be day schools bunched together in small geographic areas, so you’d just be highlighting the fact that the vast majority of Americans have no access whatsoever to those top schools.

Whereas if you identify a top 1% student, from anywhere, that student can travel to attend a top college. [/quote]
