[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yorktown high school ranked #585 in US News. I grew up in an area that wasn’t as high cost but my high school was ranked under 200. It’s depressing to pay this much for substandard schools.

US News says they rate over 24,000 high schools. So being #585 puts it in the top 2.5% of all high schools in the country. I can live with that. And, I would guess that there's not really any substantive difference between most schools within hundreds of each other in the rankings. As a PP said the top schools are generally gifted magnet schools. Below that are the mostly indistinguishable affluent neighborhood high schools.[/quote]

Your standards are pretty low. Arlington is approximately the 5th richest county in the country (and remember that includes south arlington which pulls the average down). Having your best high school ranked 585 for such an affluent area definitely makes arlington an outlier in a bad way. [/quote]

What does that slightly lower ranking mean though? In what way are the schools lacking?
