<p>We were 23 for pulbics this year, and 1 in Tennessee. Although, personally I feel like this ranking is false. It's based on the number of AP classes enrolled in, not even passed. And my school is 7-12, so they teach more advanced math in 7 and 8th grades, so that by the end of highschool, unless you've failed, you're required to take APs, and other subjects are like this too.</p>

<p>eh. not competitive on the surface because we're a big public school... but in every class there's like 30 of us vying for the top rank, top grades, and of course acceptances into the top schools... there are 10 valedictorians in my class, they've accumulated 149 rank points, and ive got 148. (and i'm second/11). we're the kind of people who take the extra before-first-hour class, and the online class, and the over-at-the-university class, and compete against each other to find the cure for aids when we have leftover time. (though not me because im not into science...) 2 girls got into harvard ED last year (and 3 stanfords... and 2 MITs...), and we've had someone score a 2400/1600 on the sat every year for at least the last four. something like that.</p>

<p>all in all not too bad for graduating classes of about 700. ;-)</p>

<p>I don’t really know how competitive it is. But our AP classes are hard from what I’ve heard. I’ve only taken a couple at my school and it’s pretty srs bsns. There’s no way you can slack off and fly by in any of them with the exception of AP Psychology (which I’ve never taken but people tell me it’s a joke.) Honestly the classes are more rigorous than the AP Exam by a lot, I guess our administration takes them pretty seriously.</p>

<p>I’m not sure. With 20,000+ students it’s difficult to infer.</p>
