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

If you read the explanation accompanying the rankings, you'd know why TJ is not included. In fact, TJ is mentioned by name.[/quote]
As a former Holton parent, there are many average and above average students.  I agree with the description below as it relates to Holton:

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

Schools like TJ are not listed because they are PUBLIC schools, folks.  This is a listing for PRIVATE schools.  [/quote]

Did you look at the list? It is almost entirely public schools; they just included a few private schools (those with available data) for the purpose of comparison. Most private schools do not make that data public (and if i remember correctly WIS was furious that it was included).[/quote]
