[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] This year neither Winston Churchill nor B-CC even ranked in the Top High Schools. http://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/maryland?int=9abb08 [/quote] I don't know why this was the case with Churchill, but I'm sure there was a reason why it did not do well in the rankings (yet is widely considered to be an excellent school). Re BCC, I understand it's because of the IB program coexisting alongside AP courses. US News rankings don't seem to know how to factor these things in.[/quote] Churchill was not ranked because US News has rules that disqualify schools with too large an achievement gap. Churchill's minority students were performing too poorly compared to everyone else to be ranked. http://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/articles/2014/04/21/how-us-news-calculated-the-2014-best-high-schools-rankings[/quote]
