I personally think that this list is a crock... It is only based on how many AP tests are taken... not even the scores... So If a school can afford paying for AP tests for every student to take does that mean that that school is better?
I noticed some schools that were on that list in another state. I had college roommates that went to these schools. These were not fabulous schools. Not a lot of electives offered, and a not so great student population. Some of her friends even had "relationships" with some of the younger teachers. I would not choose what district i moved into based on that list...
I totally agree with you guys on this one. I work closey with schools for the college board and it's amazing the increase in test taking. Averages have definitely gone down. It used to be a challenge to get into these courses, however so many schools now have open enrollment and encourage students. While it's good for me and my job - and my house since my district is in the top 50 - the list really doesn't mean anything.

DH and I have our HS listed..518 MacArthur Levittown N.Y. 1.846 5 35
It is funny, my elementary school was just named as a Blue Ribbon school and we have the best scores in the district for elementary but you get to the High School and it's a big ol' mess. We would never be on any list except at the bottom when you go by those AP scores

I though Commack wasn't on it, but I see that it is. 
How about Harborfields? I would expect to see my alma mater but I didn't notice it.
I know I am late here but the 2007 list i have (Newsweeks top schools) Harborfields is 282. Am I seeing something wrong?
