<p>^^Don’t you mean that schools are afraid to fund programs that promote partisan agendas? All the things you list are partisan issues.</p>
<p>Anyway, this rating system is much better than Newsweek’s, in which a school’s value is measured by the number of AP tests a student takes. </p>
<p>I think these ratings are not necessary though and counterproductive. If anything, they should be rated in blocks like top 100, top 200, etc.</p>
