US News rankings for best high schools 2015 is out…my school dropped a few ranks…
@Cornbread1999 Their ranking system is ridiculous anyways. When I look up schools in my state, some schools that are clearly less favorable are ranked higher and some schools that are clearly more favorable are ranked lower than my school.
yeah…some schools that almost definitely outpace us are actually behind us…we are actually still ranked ahead of Stuyvesant for STEM, which I think is kind of laughable
I think last time my school was ranked #700 or something. Hehe.
157 overall, 26 state, 11 STEM. ehh, the schools at the top are all the same.
Top 300 overall blah blah blah. Pretty sure it’s a small drop, but what bothers me more is that one of the worst public schools in the area somehow ranks above us…
My school was ranked again (we weren’t ranked last year)! I don’t want to name the specific ranks because that makes it easy to guess, but we’re top 100 national, top 25 state, and top 25 STEM.
The closest high school/second-best in the district (which is still pretty damn good) is barely top 500, though, which I’m pretty surprised by. I think they were ranked a lot higher last year.
^ @topaz1116 Might want to remove those stats then lol…
@Frigidcold Ahahaha I probably should. Is it that obvious?
My dream school is DeVry University, only 93% acceptance rate, wish me luck. 
@Frigidcold If my school is supposed to be a really good school and it’s ranked 700 or so then I don’t think a school that ranks 300 or above would be particularly bad. But maybe they are compared to your school.
@LockesandBagels Wow, they have a 93% acceptance rate? I thought they just let in anyone who could pay! Too bad they’re a scam.
Oh, never mind. I was wrong about our school’s rank. We’re actually ranked around 1100. Hehe.
@dsi411 The other school has an inner-city troubled sort of thing. Think they have like 80% poverty. And my school draws a lot of the talent from many high schools in the area including that one. There’s just no way that it’s accurate, but whatever.
Anyone going to ARML tomorrow? 
oops i didn’t edit my stats out in time. oh well, I think i already gave my region away before…
I’ve never even heard of ARML. Or at least, I hadn’t until I searched it up…
Aren’t you guys both from the Bay Area?
My school is somewhere in the early thousands. To be honest though, I don’t care :)) unless I was at Stuyvesant or Stevenson, I wouldn’t care if the rank dropped
Me neither. Mine is in the early thousands too. And I wouldn’t want to go to one of those schools anyways. Seems like too much pressure. And they judge you in the context of your school so you’d be expected to do more.
yep :((((((((((((
