[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So Holton has beat out Thomas Jefferson and the Chapin School in NY.  Only in one's dreams.[/quote]

The ranking is based on how well the school can [b]teach [/b]not on how well they can [b]recruit[/b].

Why don’t I see famous public high schools such as Stuyvesant in New York City or Thomas Jefferson in Fairfax County on the list?

We do not include any magnet or charter high school that draws such a high concentration of top students that its average SAT or ACT score exceeds the highest average for any normal-enrollment school in the country. This year, that meant such schools had to have an average SAT score below 2005 or an average ACT score below 29.3 to be included on the list.

The Challenge Index is designed to identify schools that have done the best job in persuading average students to take college-level courses and tests. It does not work with schools that have no, or almost no, average students. We put those schools on our Public Elites list.[/i][/quote]
