"W schools"?


"Winston Churchill, Walter Johnson, Walt Whitman"


True, they are, but not very highly.

Basically North Jersey to NYC is what NoVA is to DC. NYC is even richer than DC so a lot of that trickles to the suburbs of Jersey.

It is probably the math tests again, since Virginia SOLs don't test beyond Algebra II.

It's a defunct magazine. Ranking high schools. Nationally. No, it's not right. It's nearly as bad as greatschools in terms of being not in any way, shape, or form credible. Any time thinking about it is wasted; I wish I had the 30 seconds back I spent typing this message.


Because your kid's HS is not listed?

Yes, great schools even in the less affluent areas. Property taxes are much higher up there.

It's got a lot of rich people in the NYC burbs who send their kids to highly segregated publics, unlike the very rich people in NYC proper who send their kids to private school, and the rich people on the CT side and Westchester who send their kids to boarding school.

Yes. It is a very wealthy state and very highly educated. Rt 1 corridor is filled with engineers and chemists.
