Am I missing something here? If you go to the drop-down box and click on "Best High Schools," it gives a ranking. The top 3? Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont. Where's Texas? #27.

I'm not ragging on Texas, I'm just pointing it out. I don't know what their criteria is or what "Awarded Bronze or Better" means.

I'm dubious of this whole thing. If you look at the top 100 list, the College Readiness score ranges from 100% to 50%. I can't imagine what criteria would give you a top 100 school with that kind of number.

Geez. Newsweek does a Top 1000 issue. I wonder if the Valedictorian at the #999 school can stop drooling long enough to swallow.
