<li>Private</li>
<li>Around 80</li>
<li>A fair amount of APs for juniors/seniors, but none for freshman and only 2 for sophomores. IBs are not offered. </li>
<li>Very competitive, most competitive in my state and also the highest ranked. Pretty much everyone in my school is obsessed with grades and college. </li>
<li>Dress code (ugh) and horribly high tuition for what its worth. Some teachers are rather incompetent and most students have very little intelligence outside of being book-smart.</li>
</ol>

<li>Public</li>
<li>about 80-90</li>
<li>We offer six APs, but we have a online provider. Most people take at least a few of them, and the tests are mandatory.</li>
<li>Almost no OOS, I think this year there were two. A lot of people don’t go to college. Not super competitive in terms of Ivies etc., had a kid go to Columbia last year though.</li>
<li>Not very many high performances in SATs or AP exams, though the average seems to be pretty good. My particular class is pretty competitive in terms of course load taken and “smartness”, might buck the OOS trend a little.</li>

<li><p>i don’t know. it’s a small school.</p></li>
<li><p>Everyone has to take all honors, there are about 10 AP classes, but junior senior year everyone takes actual college classes.</p></li>
<li><p>I think it sends 12% students to top schools, but 100% graduation rate, and it’s very competitive.</p></li>
<li><p>It’s rated by Us news and world report as one of the best HS</p></li>
</ol>
<p>a lot of smart kids, some lazy, some not, some turn down ivies and reallly good schools to go to cuny honors, or cc.</p>

<li>Very competitive. I think 30something/70 have been accepted to top 20 schools this year.</li>
<li>Newsweek ranked us on par with Thomas Jefferson as one of the Public Elites; US News ranked us to be #7 high school in the US.</li>

<li>Public</li>
<li>282</li>
<li>0 for freshmen, AP Euro for Sophomores, 18 APs for Juniors and Seniors to choose from. Tests are optional. The senior class took around 450 tests. No IB program.</li>
<li>Most people in the top 15-10% go to UW Madison. Others go to random private/publics (some OOS) or lesser UW schools.
As far as top schools go: 1 to Cornell, 1 to Northwestern, 1 to Pomona, and 1 to Grinnell</li>
<li>My school is the best in it’s area, but it still isn’t very competitive. The ACT average is a 22, which is sadly the record setting ACT average in my school’s history. We’re getting a lot better in all areas though, so it should improve soon. We also have more money than we know what to do with. We just built an expansion including a fitness center, an art gallery, and a green room for the morning announcements, and more. I think a dance studio is in the works.</li>

<li>Public</li>
<li>Hmm like 600-700</li>
<li>IB’s like it’s own little cult (yay us) and our school’s pride and joy–those kids usually get into the top privates and LACS–but there are loads of AP classes, which people consider a track usually taken with mostly honors classes. AP kids can get into like Virginia Tech or Chapel Hill (it’s an NC school) if they get top grades and are heavily involved in DECA, student body, or sports.</li>
<li>Erm… The number one college for our kids is the local community college (lol), but we send a good number (like top 40%) to decent schools like Chapel Hill, UVA, the other UNC’s, Colgate, Auburn… And a few to the top LACs and privates. This year, one to Princton and one to Williams. Last year, we had UPenn, a Harvard, a Columbia, and a Yale (I think…).</li>
<li>My school’s so weird. We have this ghetto contingent and then preps and then the biggest group of nerds you’ll ever meet (IB kids), but not really because half are hipsters and the other half fabulous immigrants… It’s all very crazy.</li>
</ol>
<p>Anyone watch Gossip Girl? My HS is the model used for the girl’s school. Small, majority very wealthy though several Jenny’s, back stabbers that make Blair look sweet, 35% to ivies where most are legacies.</p>
<ol>
<li>Private international</li>
<li>~150</li>
<li>we are a full ib school, but we’ve also got about 7 ap classes and if you want, you can get a group together and a ‘supervisor’ and take another ap class as an ilp (independent learning program)</li>
<li>we generally send about 3-5 kids to the ivys each year. this year one guy got into all the ivys, and another guy got rejected from everywhere else except princeton. pretty crazy. we send kids to decent colleges too, like williams, amherst, uva and baylor. a lot of kids head to england or australia too. one guy got into oxford this year.</li>
<li>the country where i live only sends about 1-2 kids to harvard each year as a whole, so its not like the country is super competitive anyway.</li>
</ol>
<p>newyorka: That’s pretty cool!</p>
<ol>
<li>Public</li>
<li>400 something</li>
<li>10-15 APs</li>
<li>Some go to college, 15 percent or so go to University of Maryland, some go to community college, um.. 20-30 percent go to community college, and some join the army, marine, air force, and work force. </li>
<li>My school is pretty white. 98 percent white people with like 20 or some african americans, and only 5 or so Asians (12 twinkies). We send 1 person to Cornell this year and another to Georgetown SFS.(they are both in the drama club)The lunch table is divided by family income, rich kids sit in one table, and not so rich kids sit on another. Drama company dominates the school. Asians are in the peripheral, in the utmost peripheral despite the fact that they are twinkies. I’m an asian myself, and I either sit with my fellow asians, anime lovers, shy nerds, or myself. I don’t like my school because it is so homogeneous, it seems that all people want to be either doctors, engineers, or journalists. Boring as hell.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>Private (Catholic)</li>
<li>About 150 give or take a few.</li>
<li>8 AP classes and one honors class (Spanish 4 Honors) that includes an AP exam at the end.</li>
<li>Not really competitive. Mostly everyone goes to college, but only a few kids per class go to really good colleges, and the only Ivy League school people seem to go to is Cornell…</li>
<li>Hmm…the school is pretty small-ish, so everyone is really close with each other and although there are different groups, they intermingle a lot. Teachers are friendly and can get to know the students well. As for breakdown by race-most people are white, with the second largest group being African Americans followed by Hispanics, and Koreans. Also, my school actually has a really good theater program. Sports are mostly good, though some teams (football) suck. I must say, though, that people at my school need more passion.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>Public</li>
<li>550 or so</li>
<li>1 AP course offered in class. Several offered online, but many student fear them. </li>
<li> Out of state yeah right. Competition among top 30 of each class, but beyond that not many are driven.</li>
<li>A FFA driven rural school with many farmers and the schools largest functions are marching band, and agriculture.</li>

<ol>
<li>Public Magnet</li>
<li>400 something</li>
<li>A lot of APs</li>
<li>Extremely Competetive - Avg GPA is probably around 3.7-3.8 (with a relatively hard grading scale) Avg SAT I believe is close to 2150-2200</li>
<li>3 more days of school</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>Public (but you have to apply to get in and whatnot)</li>
<li>About 180 I think? I have no idea.</li>
<li>No AP classes but most students take (and do very well on) the tests</li>
<li>Very, very competitive, but we have no class rank or official GPA. On Newsweek’s “Public Elites” list.</li>
<li>I go to IMSA, which of course is the infamous boarding school in northern Illinois. =] It’s been a really, really good experience for me so far, but has definitely killed my GPA ;]</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>Public</li>
<li>700-something</li>
<li>Almost every AP class is offered, and the IB program is fairly prevalent. Percentage of kids taking AP/IB classes was ranked in the top 100 in the country.</li>
<li>Very very very competitive. Highest recorded GPA is 4.93. Sends thirtyish kids to ivies/year.</li>
<li>The GPA game rules all. Students take PE and/or health over the summer so that they have room for more five-point classes in their year schedules. 8th period debate adds and extra five-pointer and allows testing out of speech, a killer four-pointer. Our top twenty are all straight-A students in all core honors/AP/IB classes; the differences are only who took what four-point first level language or how many years they did debate. 
Alas!</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>Public</li>
<li>758 </li>
<li>Too much to mention, we do have IB, and everyone passes their exams. Except for last year, one person did not.</li>
<li>Very competitive; people from my school are sent to Princeton, Yale, etc. But most go to UC’s. I think more than half go to the UC’s </li>
<li>On Wiki, it even describes our school as “academically concentrated.” I hate how competitive it is. Their extracurriculars are more than enough and I feel like they could suffocate themselves with it. Also, our school is like 55% Asian, if that makes any difference. The only thing that’s keeping away from the schools I want to go to is my GPA. So, darn some of the teachers at this school.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>Public but under the college system not the state/city education system</li>
<li><218 (just my class as of now); Class of 2014 has 230 students</li>
<li>Limited to two official electives as a junior and unlimited electives as a senior. Can only test for 7 APs as a junior. We have a decent number of AP’s. </li>
<li>Yearly, about 40 kiddies to ivies, 6-8 kiddies specifically to Harvard/Yale, and everyone else at least goes to a four year college and most people just happen to end up at decent colleges. </li>
<li>Invitation to take admission test if you score within top 2,000 scores on state tests in 5th grade, (about 700,000 students in the city). Then 200ish are selected out of the 2,000 for admission via an admission test in 6th grade. We receive barely any government funding. >.< PTA supplies all! Oh recently according to insideschools.org, we’re like 55% Asian or something. Seniors rule scheduling.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>Private</li>
<li>about 140ish</li>
<li>12 AP’s , most of them are available to seniors</li>
<li>9 seniors ('08) had GPA’s of 3.9 or greater. Rarely anyone gets into the Ivy’s, MIT, Stanford, or the UC’s. Competitive juniors take 1 AP and 3-4 Honors classes or 4 Honors classes/no AP’s; few take 2 APs with 2-3 Honors classes. </li>
<li>Most students select schools from the list of schools that previous graduates were accepted to. Not competitive, except among Honors students.</li>
