This is a really pointless and arbitrary ratings system. All it measures is the number of AP or IB tests taken by all the students at a school divided by the number of graduating seniors.

Ya...that list is a little odd...because every senior at my school has at least 2 AP's...most have 3-4, but it's not there....then again it only has 40 people per grade, and 150 in the whole high school...

Schools that chose more than half of their students by grades or test scores were not considered because the index is designed to identify schools that challenge average students and does not work well with schools that have few or no average students

nowonder my school is not in there.
