I don't know if the list of college acceptances means that your high school is "better" than other high schools. I don't know if this list necessarily is a direct correlation with how good your HS is. Rather, one may also have to look at the demographics that your school serves. That means looking at the type of community (income levels) and parent educational levels and so on. What percentage of the senior class go onto four year colleges? What is the average SAT scores for your high school? and so on. For instance, I don't know that you could claim that your HS is "better" than my kids' rural public high school based on where the students landed at college. But what I could tell you is that the demographics of your community and student population differs a lot from our high school's population. Our school is still good and my kids got into very selective universities and were well prepared and fared very well winning top awards at their universities in fact. But we simply had far fewer kids at our HS who went onto such colleges as you do at your HS. Both high schools may be good and prepare kids well but both schools deal with a very different population overall.
