...as ranked by the US News, who would rank America's best cheeses if they could. (Seriously, though, how long has USNWR been ranking high schools?)

LAMP in Montgomery was the top-ranked school in Alabama, and the only one from Alabama ranked in the 250 nationally.

I am curious, anyone know why the Alabama School of Math and Science is not on this list? (As far as I can tell, anyways.)

As kind of a sidebar, of the top 20 schools in the country, 14 are in the South. Pretty amazing.

I went to LAMP. It is a small downtown enclave of good students. The high ranking is probably because the school is small and almost homgoenous with talented students. Parents tend to be middle class with as wide an income spread as this bracket allows.
