<p>Well my school is private so rankings really don't help.</p>

<p>I just hope they associate "Jesuit school" with rigorous curriculum and well-rounded student body as many do. My school certainly isn't one of the best schools in the country, especially not in the AP category, as a single student is allowed to take a maximum of 10 tests, but we produce some of the most well-rounded young men in the country.</p>

<p>BTW I was accepted to #14 (Newsweek #1) Talented and Gifted and #18 (Newsweek #2) Science and Engineering yet decided that the 50 minute bus ride was just too much.</p>

<p>Top 50 here, hooray...</p>

<p>Our school is nothing like your schools on the east though. Most of us aren't college-frenzied--our school just loves AP tests. We send about 4-5 on average to HYPS each year and probably like 10 others into other ivies and ivy-tier schools. Does that seem average for a "top" high school?</p>

<p>why arent private schools included? The results would be considerably different....</p>
