Using their standard of a 1.000 ratio of graduates to number of seniors who took one or more AP tests and score a 3 or better, there are 1,900 public schools listed.
Southwest ranked 328 in the country (in top 2%) and number 4 in the state.
Interesting to note a larger number of schools listed and several notables not in the listing. I think more schools are paying attention to the rankings.
The rankings do not factor in social economics, special education or other "special" conditions.
One number for some thought. 45% of the seniors took one or more AP test in the high school experience and scored a 3 or higher. That is an important number and one we should monitor as we continue to encourage our student to challenge themselves.
There is always reason to carefully consider these types of rankings. Our concern and attention remains focused on each and every one of our students. At the same time it is more than fair to congratulate the entire staff, students, families and community for continuing its efforts to inspire excellence in academics, arts and athletics.
