The school my children will eventually attend is ranked very high on this list. I must say with regret that his metric is not working well in this instance. It is a magnet high school, a school within a school, split between extremely bright, high-achieving, frantically prepping students from middle- and UMC backgrounds (mostly) who take one zillion AP tests and poor and very poor students zoned for the school, who take very few. If you look at the stats in the aggregate, sure, they probably look nice, but Mr. Mathews is being misled.
It is a school with some good things going for it, but it is not, AFAIK, a shining example of equity. For some it is a source of resentment...
