<P>Public schools are ranked according to a ratio devised by <A class=related href="http://www.newsweek.com/related.aspx?subject=Jay+Mathews"><U><FONT color=#0000ff>Jay Mathews</FONT></U></A>: the number of Advanced Placement, Intl. Baccalaureate and/or <A class=related href="http://www.newsweek.com/related.aspx?subject=Cambridge"><U><FONT color=#0000ff>Cambridge</FONT></U></A> tests taken by all students at a school in 2007 divided by the number of graduating seniors. All of the schools on the list have an index of at least 1.000; they are in the top 5 percent of public schools measured this way.</P>
<P>If you have questions about the list, please contact <A href="mailto:challenge@washpost.com"><U><FONT color=#0000ff>challenge@washpost.com</FONT></U></A>. Note: Subs. Lunch % is the percentage of students receiving federally subsidized meals. E and E % stands for equity and excellence percentage: the portion of all graduating seniors at a school that had at least one passing grade on one AP or IB test.
