(Washington,
DC—May 7, 2017) America’s Most Challenging High Schools, as ranked by The
Washington Post, selects high schools through an index formula, and this
year, High Tech has made its 2017 list, announced Dr. Joseph
Giammarella, Principal of High Tech High School.
High
Tech ranks #2 out of six Hudson County schools on the list. Overall, High Tech received a ratio of 1.962
and ranked 1,386 on the entire list.
America’s
Most Challenging High Schools incorporates
a simple ratio into its rankings: the number of Advanced Placement,
International Baccalaureate and Advanced International Certificate of Education
tests given at a school each year, divided by the number of seniors who
graduated that year. A ratio of 1.000 means the school had as many tests as
graduates.
