[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there any studies indicating whether Alexandria public schools prepared them for college let alone ivy league?[/quote] According to the US News rankings, TC Williams has a college readiness index (CRI) of 32.7. This number is based on AP exam participation rates and percentages of students passing at least one exam. According to US News, "only schools that had values at or above 14.8 in their CRI scored high enough to meet the criteria for gold and silver medal selection. The minimum of 14.8 was used because it's the median (the statistical midpoint) of all the college readiness index values among all high schools with AP or IB test-takers." The school I went to in Illinois, which has a "9" Great School rating, has a college readiness index of 20.5, and it's nationally ranked and was given a silver rating by US News. I can't pretend to understand the rankings.[/quote]
