<p>These lists are not created with the best method, if I remember.</p>
<p>They just do #of students/aps (or other way around)…without taking into account how well the students actually do. Plus, public magnet schools and such might distort the rankings.</p>
<p>Nice both of the high schools in my district won silver medals this year. Must be stiffer competition nowadays since I remember back when I was going there we got a gold medal one year.</p>
<p>Also a shame they opened that third high school in my district, otherwise I’m sure we’d be on that Largest School list since my year was around 650 students per year, grades 10-12 and growing each year.</p>
<p>The one time I saw my school on a list is was rated like 900-something. Though it’s generally considered one of the top few in the state, so I don’t put much stock in it.</p>
