Joanne (see blogroll) points out that Newsweek's Top 1500 Schools list is up. The school at which I teach is on this list, but there's another school in our district above us.
Yes, you can argue the methodology all day long. This should be weighted more, that should be weighted less, the other thing shouldn't be weighted at all. So take it for what it's worth.
It's too bad a media outlet has to do what the public education system shrinks back from doing. But then if there were some widely-applied standards of educational performance the public education system wouldn't be in the fix it's in.
