[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If US News ranking considered student qualifications, this will change quickly.[/quote]u

The pendulum is swinging back aggressively toward testing and metrics. It will filter down to high schools next and then middle schools. 
US news will shift likely VERY soon to care more about tests and student quality: that is what the public wants now. Then high schools will start to care more about preparedness for such tests and middle schools will have to go back to tracking based on academic metrics and academic readiness not diversity. The problem is it should have started from the bottom up long ago. Instead it is backwards. We have elementary schools who recently went to no homework and pushed online learning and yet high schools and colleges who pushed it first have already begun to or swung back the other way.

The schools that comprise the top25 will once again correspond almost exactly to the ones with the highest test score ranges in the new test-required world.[/quote]
