<p>The schools I listed were not my “favorites”, they are either comparables to the schools listed - essentially without any disadvantaged population to consider and high Newsweek rankings, or … they are districts serving a broader socio-economic base who also ranked well in the Newsweek survey - something that seemingly should have helped them here. There seems no reason that these schools and others would not have ranked in the same ballpark as those that were ranked. There was no limit to the number of silver medals awarded.</p>
<p>Moreover, there are two schools ranked here which would be consensus picks for bottom 10, if not bottom five, in the county.</p>
<p>Thus, it seems to me that the majority of Westchester schools either were not asked to participate or did not respond to the survey.</p>
