Quite a shocker that the wealthiest areas with the most involved parents produce the higher achieving students.

(Nitpicker alert: This is not to say all the highest achieving students go to these schools or that all the students in these schools are among the highest achieving. Further, there may have been schools who did not enter the rankings and these rankings vary in any case.)

Interesting that North Shore is in the top 10. Where was it last year? I don't think the perception of that district is top 10 at all...

The others are no surprise...except maybe Port Washington. And while Garden City in the top 10 is no surprise, it being ranked number 1 is.

Yeah- it's only surprising when a mostly upper-middle class area *doesn't* rank well.

I'm starting to appreciate the idea of county schools. May as well, since Core was adopted.

A few of the better LI schools are missing such as Wheatley, Locust Valley, Harborfields, etc.
