Check out why EB is 76th
Really people! I was sort of sick and tired of hearing how low our school is ranked, so I decided to look up by what criteria we were lowered to 76th place. Turns out that half of it is because of the size of our school!
In terms of what actually counts (scores!) we are totally on top of it!
Our average SAT score is 1662, only 168 points less than that of the #1 school (Millburn), and higher than that of the school in 23rd place. 93% of students (assuming it's only counting those who take them) score 3 or higher on AP tests. That's better than Millburn which has a 91%. The only schools that did better are Livingston, Hopewell Valley Central, Eastern Regional, etc (only checked as far as the school ranked in 100th place).
Point is, our school isn't as shlumpy as some make it out to be. If you have a moment to spare,
Food for thought:
What's your opinion of our ranking?
Do you think it's fair for people's opinions of our schools to be based on these criteria?
Were you surprised to see how well we test?
