<p>My high school one of the top 10 best public schools in the state, of course that’s not saying much considering that state is Tennessee…We send some top grads to HYP. Lots of good schools visit, like Duke, MIT, UMich, etc.</p>
<p>Here are the average ACT scores for all the public schools in the county.</p>
<p>Houston High: 23.6 <– where I go</p>
<p>White Station High: 23.6 <– even though the ACT average is the same as my school, mine is not listed in newsweek top 100 and this one is simply because they have a couple more AP classes…total BS.</p>
