What does it mean when people say "competitive high school"?

<p>PBailey – I don’t have time to look up the rest of my metrics, but your schools sent 3 students to CHYMPS… 1/0/0/0/1/1</p>

<p>It looks like you had 128 matriculating to college, so that is 3/128, or 2.5% matriculation to CHYMPS.</p>

<p>To me, and in line with my metrics posted way above, that is a “competitive high school”.</p>

<p>How has it been in prior years?</p>
