<p>America's</a> Best High Schools: Gold Medal List - US News and World Report</p>

<h1>14: Pine View School</h1>

2

<h1>11: High Technology (Lincroft, NJ)</h1>

<p>Actually, I’ve never even heard of that school lol.</p>

<p>At least Bergen Academy (#39) and Princeton HS (#98 or something) are sort of well known.</p>

3

<p>Nope, just because my school is too awesome.</p>

4

<p>My school’s always on it. But it dropped like 30 spots this year. What a disappointment.</p>

5

<p>These lists are not created with the best method, if I remember.</p>

<p>They just do #of students/aps (or other way around)…without taking into account how well the students actually do. Plus, public magnet schools and such might distort the rankings.</p>

6

<p>L0L. I don’t even need to check. My school is awful.</p>

7

<p>Hahahah my school’s not there. But on that list of 1000 best high schools that USNWR publishes every year, we’re always ranked in the 700s lol.</p>

8

<p>How many high schools are there?</p>

9

<p>my school’s in the top 100 woot</p>

10

<p>Haha, hell no. I knew that before I looked at the list though. :/</p>

11

<p>Dang hill, didn’t know your high school was so legit o.o</p>

12

<p>Nice both of the high schools in my district won silver medals this year. Must be stiffer competition nowadays since I remember back when I was going there we got a gold medal one year.</p>

<p>Also a shame they opened that third high school in my district, otherwise I’m sure we’d be on that Largest School list since my year was around 650 students per year, grades 10-12 and growing each year.</p>

13

<p>I think my school is top 200 or 300, not 100. Saw it on a US News list one time.</p>

14

<p>Mine isn’t even close.</p>

15

<p>The one time I saw my school on a list is was rated like 900-something. Though it’s generally considered one of the top few in the state, so I don’t put much stock in it.</p>

16

<p>I’m not even going to bother looking. Probably not.</p>

17

<p>mine is in the top 10.</p>

18

<p>Mine is on the list. Lol, our poverty rate is dismal.</p>

19

<p>Nope. I don’t even know if we qualify for the rankings, because the arrangement of our schools is non-traditional.</p>

20

<p>Mine is generally considered top 3 in Maryland. There were no schools from MD on that list. :/</p>
